NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Temple's Victoria Macaulay and Saint Joseph's Chatilla van Grinsven have been named the Atlantic 10 Conference Co-Players of the Week, the league office announced on Monday. Dayton's Amber Deane was also honored as the A-10's Rookie of the Week for the second time this season. The three student-athletes were recognized for games played during the week of Jan. 7-13.

Macaulay averaged 22.5 points and 9.0 rebounds in a 2-0 week for Temple, including wins over Western Michigan (68-41) and at defending A-10 regular season champs St. Bonaventure (67-59). The Staten Island, N.Y., native recorded her seventh double-double of the season with a game-high 23 points and a game-high 12 rebounds against the Bonnies. She hit 9-of-10 (.900) at the line, tallied three assists and two blocks in leading the Owls to victory in their A-10 opener.

Earlier in the week, Macaulay scored a game-high 22 points on 11-of-19 (.579) shooting over Western Michigan. On the week, she shot 52.9 percent (18-34) from the field and 90 percent (9-10) at the line, while adding five blocks. For her efforts, Macaulay was also named the Philadelphia Big 5 Co-Player of the Week and the Under Armour OwlSports.com Athlete of the Week.

Leading the charge for Saint Joseph's in its Atlantic 10 opener, van Grinsven, a redshirt senior, was dominant for the Hawks. The Helmond, Netherlands, native posted a game-high 24 points, to go with 18 rebounds in SJU's 82-62 win over visiting Richmond. Converting 10-of-17 (.588) attempts from the floor, and adding four free throws, van Grinsven matched her second-most points in a game for her career, while her 18 rebounds tied for eighth most in a single game at SJU. Additionally, the starting forward had a team-best three steals and added an assist and blocked shot in 29 minutes of action.

Deane registered her first career double-double with a game-high 18 points along with a game- and career-high 11 rebounds in No. 22/17 Dayton's A-10 opening win at Butler (82-39). Deane shot 62 percent (8-13) from the field and a career-best 67 percent (2-3) from beyond the arc in her 23 minutes on the floor.
