Owens Named CAC Player of the Week

YORK, Pa. - Wesley College junior forward Angie Owens (Seaford, Del./Seaford) was named the Capital Athletic Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week after averaging 27 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.0 blocked shots in a pair of victories last week.

Owens knocked down 10-of-14 shots on the way to scoring 23 points and grabbing 13 rebounds against Hood. The next night, she followed up with a career-high 31 points on a 13-for-16 shooting performance, controlling 12 boards and rejecting eight shots against Gwynedd-Mercy, nearly tallying a double-double.

It was Wesley’s first 30-point performance in three years and the most blocked shots in a game in more than a decade. For the week, she hit 77 percent from the floor (23-of-30), 60 percent from three-point range (3-for-5) and all five of her free throws.

It is the third time this season that Owens has won the award.  She was honored in the season's opening week on November 16 and again on January 11 when she shared the honor with Gallaudet's Easter Faafiti.
