AMHERST, Mass. - Women's basketball freshman guard Cierra Dillard and men's basketball senior forward Maxie Esho were tabbed the Dinn Bros. UMass Co-Athletes of the Week on Tuesday.

Dillard scored a career-high 21 points, including 17 in the pivotal second half, when UMass defeated Holy Cross, 72-61, on Sunday. She shot 6-of-8 from the floor in the second half when Massachusetts turned a 30-29 halftime deficit into an 11-point victory.
