ATLANTA -- A pair of freshmen share honors as the Georgia State Student-Athletes of the Week, powered by the U.S. Marines, in softball pitcher Emily Soles and women's basketball guard Jada Lewis.

Lewis, from Powder Springs, Ga., and McEachern High School, led GSU the women's basketball team to a pair of victories last week, averaging 15.5 points in the Sun Belt Conference wins road wins at Coastal Carolina and Appalachian State.

Against the Chanticleers, Lewis scored a season-high 20 points on 7-for-14 shooting from the field and also contributed two assists and a steal in the 69-48 victory. She followed with 11 points, two assists and a blocked shot against the Mountaineers. Perhaps most importantly, she was a perfect 9-for-9

Winners of five of their last six games, the Panthers host Texas State Thursday at 7 p.m. at the GSU Sports Arena.

Soles, the right-handed hurler from Bishop, Ga., and Prince Avenue Christian School, made her Georgia State debut over the weekend and picked up two victories to help the Panthers win Mississippi State's Bulldog Kickoff Classic in dramatic fashion.
