CALDWELL, N.J. – Caldwell College junior forward
Jeanette Anderson (Lynn, MA/Lynn English) was chosen the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Player of the Week for women's basketball, the league announced today. Anderson averaged 28.0 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals in three Cougar victories last week.
Anderson started the week with a 30-point, 15-rebound effort in an 82-76 win over Concordia College on Tuesday. The performance marked Anderson's fifth 30-point game of her career. In a 69-53 triumph over Chestnut Hill College on Thursday, she tallied 29 points and 12 boards for her 12th double-double of the season. Then at Wilmington University on Saturday, Anderson registered 25 points, eight rebounds and four steals while making 11-of-12 from the free throw line. In the three games combined, she shot 85.7 percent (30-of-35) from the line to improve her free throw percentage to 72.6 percent for the season.
An all-CACC first team selection a year ago, Anderson is averaging 15.8 points and a team-high 9.8 rebounds per game. She ranks third in the CACC in rebounding, eighth in scoring and sixth in field goal percentage (.482). The three wins last week extended the Cougars' winning streak to 11 and set a program record for consecutive victories.
Caldwell continues CACC play with a game against Bloomfield College on Tuesday, Feb. 19. Game time is set for 6:00 p.m. in Bloomfield, N.J.
