Eriel was supposed to be the starting 2-guard but was thrown into the point guard position due to an injury prior to the first game. She did an impressive job as a freshman and her first two college games.  She also guarded the opponent's best guards and did a great job defensively. She averaged 18.0 points last week shooting 48% from the floor and 55% from three.
