WOODLIN, WASHINGTON HONORED BY PSAC
KUTZTOWN, Pa. - Kutztown University men's basketball players Andre Woodlin (jr. Philadelphia/Central) and Ryan Washington (r-fr. Glenside/Wissahickon) have been named PSAC East Player and Rookie of the Week, respectively, for their efforts the week of Feb. 26 to March 1.
Woodlin led KU to a 2-0 record in the closing week of the regular season.  Against Columbia Union on Feb. 27, the junior matched a career-high with 22 points and added seven rebounds.  In KU's regular season finale against East Stroudsburg, Woodlin set a new career-high with 28 points.  He scored 11 of his points in the final five minutes while adding 10 boards, two assists and two steals in the contest to help hold off ESU's comeback attempt, and clinch their first PSAC East crown in 20 years.
This is Woodlin's first PSAC East player of the week honor of his career, as he has emerged as a consistent third scorer  this season for the Golden Bears. He is now averaging 13.5 points per game while starting all 27 contests.
Washington  averaged 12.5 points and 5.5 rebounds on the week.  He had 13 points, four rebounds and four steals in the Golden Bears' PSAC East clinching win over East Stroudsburg.  Against Columbia Union, Washington had 12 points, seven boards and five assists. This is his fifth rookie of the week honor on the season, and second consecutive week he has received the award.
Washington, who joined the team midseason after transferring to KU from Indiana (Pa.), is averaging 8.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in 18 contests.
KU will next be in action Tuesday as it plays host to Millersville University in the opening round of the PSAC Tournament at Keystone Hall. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
