12-10-07
CALDWELL, N.J. - Caldwell College junior forward Mackenzie Lynch (Wayne, NJ/DePaul Catholic) was named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the week ending Dec. 9, the league announced today. Lynch averaged 21.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.5 steals in two victories for the Cougars, who are 5-1 on the season.

In Monday's 83-40 victory over Concordia College, Lynch had 20 points, eight rebounds and four steals. Then on Saturday, she tallied 23 points, 14 boards and three steals to lead the Cougars past Goldey-Beacom, 72-57 in a conference win at Caldwell's George R. Newman Center. The double-double against the Lightning was the second of the season for Lynch, who has scored at least 20 points in each of the last three games. For the week, Lynch was 13-of-26 (.500) from the field while making 17-of-20 (.850) from the free throw line.

Caldwell's 5-1 start is the program's best start since the 1996-97 season, when the Cougars also started 5-1.

Lynch and the Cougars return to action on Saturday, Dec. 15 with a non-conference game at Adelphi University. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in Garden City, N.Y.
