Scott Named CAC Player-of-the-Week for the Second Time This Season

North Huntingdon, Pa. - For the second time this season, Allie Scott (Laurel, Md.) has been named the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Women's Basketball Player-of-the-Week as Scott picked up the honor for the week ending February 11.

Scott's first CAC weekly honor of the 2007-08 season came on December 17 when she shared the honor with Marymount (Va.) University's Kathleen Brown. This week's win marks the fifth time in her career that Scott has earned a conference player-of-the-week citation in three-years as a Seahawk.

The 5-10, junior forward helped St. Mary's post a 2-0 week with a pair of road conference wins over Hood College and York (Pa.) College to move the Seahawks into third in the league standings, putting SMCM on track to host a first-round playoff game on February 26 for the first time since the 2004-05 campaign.

The Atholton High School product started the week with 16 points and six rebounds in a 71-54 victory at Hood. She then followed that up with 20 points and six boards in a key triumph at York as St. Mary's recorded a 74-66 win. For the week, she averaged 18.0 points and six caroms in two games.

Scott is second on the team in both scoring and rebounding with averages of 15.9 and 7.6, respectively.

She is currently ranked fifth in the CAC in scoring, seventh in blocks (0.86 bpg), tied for ninth in steals (1.77 spg), 10th in rebounding, 11th in field goal percentage (.461), and 14th in free throw percentage (.649).
