WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Atlantic 10 Conference has announced freshman outside hitter Kiera Hamilton as the conference Rookie of the Week for games played Oct. 6-12. 

Hamilton averaged 4.0 kills, 1.7 digs, and 0.3 blocks over the Patriots three games this week. She extended her double-digit kills streak to seven, and has had only one game all season where she didn't tally at least 10 kills.

The Tucson, Ariz. native ranks 3rd in kills in the A-10, 2nd in conference play. She also 2nd the A-10 in total points and 39th in the nation. 

This is Hamilton's second Rookie of the Week honor. Her first came for the week of Sept. 22. 

The Patriots move to 13-5, 6-1 in the A-10 after a 2-1 week. Though they lost their first conference game of the season to George Washington on Wednesday, George Mason responded with a 2-0 sweep of the Davidson Wildcats over the weekend.
