Media Native Named Centennial Conference Player Of The Week

MEDIA, PA – A Media native and Academy of Notre Dame de Namur grad's prowess on the basketball court earned her player-of-the-week accolades in her college conference recently.

Washington College sophomore Caitlyn Clark, of Media, was named the Centennial Conference Player of the Week for women's basketball for the week ending on Jan. 2 by the conference office, the college announced.

This is the first time Clark, a guard on the team, earned the honor and the first Shorewoman to win the conference's weekly award since Ali Grundy, class of 2017, was named co-player of the week on Jan. 9, 2017.

According to the college, Clark averaged 14.5 points per game, 5.0 assists per game, 2.5 rebounds per contest and 1.5 steals per game in two games for the Shorewomen Dec. 19 and Dec. 20.

She scored a career-high 19 points and handed out five assists against Kalamazoo on Dec. 20 to go along with a perfect 10-for-10 from the foul line, the college said. The 10 made free throws were a career-high for Clark.

Versus Misericordia on Dec. 19, she had 10 points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals. The sophomore led the Shorewomen in scoring in both games and had a 2.5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Congrats and good luck for the rest of the season Caitlyn!
