Week Eight Women's Release

PRESTOSPORTS/MBWA WOMEN'S PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Kirsty Leedham Sparks Caldwell College

WHITE PLAINS, NY (2 February 2009) – This week’s PrestoSports/MBWA Player of the Caldwell's Kirsty Leedham Week is Kirsty Leedham (Ellesmere Port, England/Cheshire Academy) who kept the Caldwell women’s basketball team competitive despite losing two of its three games last week. Caldwell (7-11; 5-3 CACC) beat Post University 88-66 before losing to Dominican 82-73 and Georgian Court 60-58. For the week, the sophomore guard averaged 30.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.3 assists.
Leedham poured in a career-high 43 points to go with five steals in the win at Post. Her 43 points narrowly missed the school record for points in a game (44), and are the most points scored in a single game by a CACC player this season. She continued to shoot the ball well, scoring 29 points against Dominican and 20 against Georgian Court.
Leedham, who was named CACC Player of the Week today, leads the Cougars in scoring at 17.7 points per game.
This week, Caldwell will host Post University on Tuesday night at 6 p.m. then will travel to the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia on Saturday.
