PRESTOSPORTS/MBWA WOMEN'S PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Kymira Woodberry Hits Notable Mark, Leads Molloy

WHITE PLAINS, NY (5 January 2009) – Kymira Woodberry (Boston, MA/Newton North) enjoyed her holiday break by leading the Molloy College women’s basketball team (9-1, 3-0 East Coast Conference) to a 2-1 week. The junior forward averaged 26.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per contest as the Lions defeated LeMoyne 69-66, lost to Texas Woman’s College 73-63, then defeated Felician 67-53.
In the Surf ‘n’ Slam Classic in San Diego, Woodberry picked up a season-best 30 points and brought down 14 boards against LeMoyne. During that game, the Boston native notched her 1,000th career point in the double overtime win. A day later, Woodberry registered another big day with 21 points and 11 rebounds against TWU. Later in the week, she led all players with 28 points against Felician. Woodberry also crashed the glass for eight rebounds in that game.
Woodberry was also named the East Coast Conference Player of the Week for her efforts.
Molloy is in the midst of a seven-game road trip, and will face Stonehill tonight and NY Tech on Saturday.
