Colleen Feeney Named MASCAC Player of the Week

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- For the second time this season and fifth time in her career, Bridgewater State College senior forward Colleen Feeney has been selected as the Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Women's Basketball Player of the Week.  Feeney shares this week's honor along with Salem State's Danielle Jenkins.

Through eight games, Feeney is averaging 19.3 points, 13.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocked shots per game.  She is currently shooting 60% (60-for-100) from the floor and 76% (34-for-45) from the free throw line.

Feeney currently leads the MASCAC in scoring, rebounding, blocked shots, field goal percentage and defensive rebounds (10.4 per game). She is also second in the conference in free throw percentage and offensive rebounds (3.9 per game).

With 16 games remaining in the regular season, Feeney has 873 points in her collegiate career which includes two seasons at Rhode Island College.
