You know you're good when you have more awards than Jon and Kate have children.
 
UT Martin Alecia Weatherly was named the Ohio Valley Conference’s Newcomer of the Week for a record matching ninth time. Weatherly matches the record of nine newcomer of the week awards last set by Southeast Missouri’s Tatiana Conceicao during the 2004-05 season.
 
She helped lead the Skyhawks to an upset victory versus OVC leader Eastern Illinois. During that contest Weatherly played 39 minutes and scored 10 points, which included a couple of three pointers. She filled up the stat sheet with five steals and five assists as well.
 
She averaged 12 points and 5.5 rebounds for UTM who finished 2-0 on the week.
 
This is the third consecutive week Weatherly has walked away with the award.
