The senior shooting guard connected on 63.9% (23-36) of her field goal tries as the Scarlet Raiders split a pair of New Jersey Athletic Conference contests on the road.  She was named the NJAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week on Monday.

Johnson poured in 27 points, hitting 10 of 15 shots from the floor, in a 67-55 win at Ramapo on Wednesday while equaling her career high in steals with seven.

On Saturday, she lit up league-leading Kean University for a career-high 30 points while adding four steals, three assists and three rebounds in an 80-70 loss.

Johnson is the first player of the week pick in either the ECAC Metro or NJAC for the Raiders this season.
