HADDONFIELD, N.J.. — Pratt Institute fifth-year guard Kylie Grant (Dallas, Texas/Millenium) was named Atlantic East Conference Defensive Player of the Week for the week ending Nov. 16, the league announced Monday.
Grant averaged 5.5 steals, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 8.0 points in 24.0 minutes over two games. She headlined the Cannoneers' 57-36 win over York (N.Y.) with 10 steals, 11 points, seven rebounds and six assists in 22 minutes, sparking a decisive third-quarter surge in the program's first victory since 2023 and the first under head coach Carlos Acevedo. She closed the week with six rebounds, a steal, a 3-pointer and an assist against St. Joseph's-Long Island.
Sophomore forward Anabela Jakelic (Zagreb, Croatia/IV. Grammar School) earned a spot on the league's weekly honor roll after averaging 13.0 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals across three games. Jakelic's week featured a 20-point, 20-rebound, three-block, three-steal performance against York (N.Y.) and a 10-point, eight-rebound outing versus St. Joseph's-Long Island, following a nine-point, nine-rebound, three-block effort at St. Joseph's-Brooklyn.
It is the first weekly award garnered by Grant and the first by a Pratt women's basketball player since the 2021-22 season. Marymount sophomore guard Kaylah Barr was picked as Player of the Week.
Pratt returns to action this Saturday, Nov. 22 hosting Berkeley College in a noon non-conference showdown at the ARC.
