NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- First-year guard Kiley Capstraw (West Orange, N.J.), who scored 22 points and shot .571 (8-for-14) in the Yale women's basketball team's only game last week, has been named Ivy League Rookie of the Week for the third week in a row. The league announced the award on Monday.
 
Capstraw is Yale's leading scorer and is 10th in the league, averaging 12.2 points per game. Against Lehigh last Wednesday she scored 20+ points for the third time this season, finishing within two of her season high (she scored 24 against Fairfield Nov. 14). She was 5-for-6 (.833) from the free throw line and leads the Ivy League in free throw percentage (.900).
 
Capstraw has scored in double digits in seven of Yale's last eight games. She leads all Ivy League first years in scoring, and is the only first year in the league who is leading her team in scoring. She and Brown's Grace Arnolie are the only players who have earned more than one Ivy League Rookie of the Week honor this season. Capstraw has won three and Arnolie two.
 
Capstraw is a graduate of West Orange High, where she led her team to its first Essex County Championship (2019) and was a member of the National Honor Society. 
 
Yale (6-7, 0-0 Ivy League) hosts Columbia Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
