Carter and Cannon win C-USA awards

The Conference USA office announced Monday afternoon that UCF junior Emma Cannon (Rochester, N.Y.) and freshman Gevenia Carter (Houston, Texas) were named the C-USA Player and Freshman of the Week respectively. UCF sweeping the league's weekly awards signifies that after an up-and-down start to the season, the Knights seem to be heading in the right direction at just the right time.

After a 76-38 victory over Jackson State on Sunday, the UCF coaching staff and players parted ways for a few days to celebrate the holidays. They will be back together before too long and practice again on the 26th in preparation for hosting third-ranked Notre Dame on Dec. 29.
