Andersson and Edokpayi Picked as UB's Final Purple Knights of the Week for 2025

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – In recognition of standout efforts for both University of Bridgeport basketball squads last week, senior Karolina Andersson and graduate student Jason Edokpayi have been named as UB's Purple Knights of the Week for the period ending Dec. 21, 2025.

Andersson played a key role in Bridgeport's win over Pace last Tuesday, scoring a season-high 16 points on an efficient 7-of-11 shooting. She also contributed across the stat sheet with eight rebounds, an assist and a block. With her all-around effort, Andersson continues to be one of UB's most reliable performers this season. She now ranks second on the team in both points (9.5) and rebounds (7.4) per contest.

Edokpayi led UB's offense during a loss to Saint Anselm last Tuesday, finishing with a team-high 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting while also pulling down seven rebounds. He led the Purple Knights in scoring for the third straight game and recorded his eighth double-figure performance of the season. The Maryland native continues to be a consistent presence, now averaging 12.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest. Edokpayi is also shooting a team-best 51 percent from the floor this season.
