Notre Dame's Jewell Loyd has been named the Big East Freshman of the week for the third time this season.
Loyd averaged 16 points and 9 rebounds last week to help 2nd ranked Notre Dame extend its winning streak to nine games with victories over South Florida and Rutgers.
She is the Irish first three-time recipient of the honor, since Skylar Diggins did it four times during the 2009-10 season.
