TROY, N.Y. - Bard College senior Christina Kiser and sophomore Thalia Grandinetti had quite an impressive start to the season, and the Liberty League noticed.

On Monday, Grandinetti was named Liberty League Co-Rookie of the Week, and Kiser made the Liberty League Weekly Women's Basketball Honor Roll.

Grandinetti averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game over the course of her first three college games. She had 17 points and two rebounds against Sarah Lawrence, 16 and five in a win over Lehman, and 10 and 15 against University of St. Joseph. She was named to the All-Tournament Team after the USJ Tip-Off event this past weekend.

Kiser opened the season with 39 points in 39 minutes against Sarah Lawrence - she went 16-for-18 from the foul line - and she added 13 rebounds and four assists. She had 14 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in the win over Lehman, and she had six points in 10 minutes against USJ before going down with an injury.

The Raptors play back-to-back road games this weekend, at Rhode Island College on Saturday, and at Wheaton on Sunday.
