PROVIDENCE, R.I. -Â Syracuse women's basketball's Kayla Alexander was named BIG EAST Player of the Week for the second time this season and fifth of her career on Monday.

Alexander scored a career-high 34 points, single-handedly outscoring Wagner in Syracuse's 66-28 victory vs. the Seahawks, and added 13 rebounds and three blocks. It broke her previous best of 33 points set on Nov. 26, 2011 at Binghamton.
