Khadijah Sayyid

Khadijah Sayyid

Junior Khadijah Sayyid was the Emory leader in scoring, rebounding and steals as the Eagles posted a 2-1 record over a three-game stretch.

Sayyid was the squad leader in the three categories in all three outings, closing out the week with averages of 16.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.3 steals per contest.  In addition, she connected on 45.5 percent (20-of-44) of her field goal attempts and converted a keen 53.8 percent from (7-of-13) from beyond the arc.

Sayyid posted her second double-double of the campaign with 20 points and 12 rebounds (her second-highest career total) in a 64-54 decision over Salem in an opening-round game of Piedmont College's Cancer Awareness Tournament.  Sayyid was successful on eight of her 15 field opportunities against the Spirits, and accounted for all of the Eagles' three-point field goals, hitting three-of-five from long range.  Against the host Lions, she chalked up 17 points on seven-of-15 shooting from the floor (3-of-6 from three-point range), and added seven rebounds and a game-high five steals in an 81-69 setback.  She closed out the week with 11 points and game highs in both rebounds (8) and steals (5) in a solid 60-39 win at Guilford. 

Her 11 steals over the three games upped her career total to 130, good for 11th place on the school's all-time list. 

Through games played Jan. 3, Sayyid, who has scored in double figures on eight occasions this year, stands No. 3 on the UAA ladder in scoring (16.7 ppg) and No. 5 in rebounding (8.6).  In addition, she is fourth in three-point percentage (.447, 17-of-38) and sixth in steals (2.4 spg).
