Wright State University men’s basketball junior Andrea Holden has been officially named the Horizon League Player of the Week, marking a dominant start to the 2026-27 season. The league’s recognition highlights Holden’s immediate impact as he led the Raiders to victories over both Air Force and Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in their opening weeks of competition. This early accolade sets a high bar for the program as it looks to establish itself as a contender in the conference standings.
Junior guard powers Raiders to season-opening wins with back-to-back double-doubles
Holden’s selection is driven by his consistent statistical output, specifically his ability to control the game through scoring and rebounding. He recorded double-doubles in both of the Raiders’ recent matchups, demonstrating versatility that is rare for a guard. By securing the ball and contributing significantly on the glass, Holden provided the offensive foundation necessary for Wright State to outperform non-conference opponents and secure crucial early-season wins.
This weekly honor underscores the Raiders’ strong start and positions Holden as the focal point of Wright State’s offensive strategy. As the season progresses, his performance will be closely monitored by league analysts and scouts. The back-to-back double-doubles not only boosted team morale but also signaled to the Horizon League that Wright State is prepared to compete at a high level from the opening tip.
