PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Temple freshman Tanaya Atkinson earned spots on both the American Athletic Conference and the Philadelphia Big 5 Weekly Honor Rolls for her play last week, leading the Owls to a win over Harvard.

The freshman racked up 20 points and seven rebounds with a pair of steals in the Temple victory. Atkinson shot 41% from the field and was a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line.
