Freshman standout Emily Ausmus has officially tied the conference record for most Newcomer of the Week awards in a single season, collecting her seventh weekly honor with one week left to play in the regular season. The achievement puts her in elite company and solidifies her reputation as one of the most impactful first-year players in recent memory.
Ausmus, a dynamic guard known for her poise, playmaking ability, and relentless competitiveness, has been a consistent force for her team all season long. From her debut game, where she notched a double-double, to her most recent performance—dropping 21 points and dishing out 7 assists in a crucial conference win—Ausmus has shown maturity beyond her years and a knack for rising to the occasion.
“She’s just been unbelievable,” said Head Coach [Insert Name]. “You never know exactly what you’re going to get with a freshman, but Emily has exceeded every expectation. Week after week, she keeps getting better, and she’s earned every bit of this recognition.”
The Newcomer of the Week award is handed out by the conference to the top-performing freshman or transfer player across the league. Winning it once is an honor; earning it multiple times is rare. But Ausmus’s seventh nod ties the all-time record, previously held by [Insert Previous Record Holder] during the [Insert Year] season.
With one week remaining, Ausmus has the opportunity to break the record outright. Her consistent excellence makes it entirely possible.
Beyond the individual accolades, Ausmus has been instrumental in her team’s success this season. She leads the team in assists and is second in scoring, helping to guide the squad to a top-three position in the conference standings. Her leadership and on-court vision have turned her into a cornerstone of the program’s future—and a fan favorite.
“Every time she touches the ball, you know something good’s going to happen,” said teammate [Insert Teammate Name]. “She’s got that ‘it’ factor. It’s been incredible to watch her grow.”
Ausmus has also caught the attention of opposing coaches, who often design entire defensive schemes to try to contain her. Still, she finds ways to impact the game—whether through scoring, passing, or clutch defensive stops.
As the regular season winds down, all eyes will be on Ausmus—not just to see if she can break the Newcomer of the Week record, but to watch how far she can lead her team into the postseason. With her talent, work ethic, and now, a piece of conference history under her belt, Emily Ausmus has already made a name for herself.
And she’s just getting started.
