WEIDENSAUL, DENNIS RECEIVE BASKETBALL HONORS

 

 

KUTZTOWN, PA - Kutztown University basketball players Rachel Weidensaul (sr.
Ashland/Cardinal Brennan) and Stephen Dennis (so. West Chester/Henderson),
of the women's and men's teams, respectively, have received honors announced
this week.

 

                Weidensaul was a double honoree.  She was named the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division Player of the
Week.  She and Dennis were also named to the Lehigh Valley College
Basketball Media Organization (LVCBMO) Team of the Month for December.

 

                Weidensaul scored 16 points in both Kutztown contests,
helping guide the Golden Bears to a 2-0 record last week.  The senior hit
14-of-26 (53.8 percent) from the floor and added nine rebounds,  five
assists, three steals and two blocks.  In Kutztown's 81-54 victory against
Penn State - Berks, Weidensaul connected on 7-of-9 shots in just 13 minutes
played.   

 

                For the season, Weidensaul is averaging 12.9 points, 3.8
rebounds and 1.8 assists through eight games.  She is shooting .372 from the
floor and .476 from three-point range.  Kutztown is 5-3 on the season.

 

                Dennis is averaging 17.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists,
1.8 blocks and 2.5 steals per game.  He ranks among the PSAC leaders in all
of those categories except rebounding, for which he is less than a half
rebound per game from the top 20.  Dennis also leads KU in field goal
percentage and free throws made.  The Golden Bear men are 3-3 on the season.


 

                Both teams return to action on Tuesday, Dec. 18 against
Slippery Rock at Keystone Hall.

 

                The LVCBMO team of the month includes a player from each of
the participating institutions from the Lehigh Valley - Cedar Crest,
Delaware Valley, DeSales, East Stroudsburg, Kutztown, Moravian and
Muhlenberg.
