12.5.16 | Women's Basketball

PHILADELPHIA -- Temple junior Alliya Butts earned a spot on the American Weekly Honor Roll for the second-straight week.

Butts averaged 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in a 1-1 week for Temple. She opened the week with 15 points, three boards and two steals as Temple lost to 6-1 Harvard on the road. On Sunday, Butts led the Owls with 16 points, adding four rebounds and three steals as the Owls topped Vermont at home. Butts' five threes this week moved her into sole possession of second place on Temple's all-time career list with 165 makes from beyond-the-arc, a feat she's accomplished just six games into her junior year.

Temple (4-2) returns to action on Wednesday, playing at Hampton at 5:30 p.m.
