MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Blue Mountain’s Olivia Chadwell (JR/Loretto, Tenn.) has been named the Southern States Athletic Conference’s Player of the Week, the home office announced Monday.
The award gives Blue Mountain its second Player of the Week in a row, with Mackenzie Lane (JR/Pontotoc, Miss.) winning last week.
Chadwell led the Lady Toppers in scoring with 16 points and seven rebounds in a loss to Missouri Baptist Tuesday night.
On the season, Chadwell is averaging 11.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
“Olivia has really stepped up in our last two games shooting 66 percent from three-point range, while also giving us additional scoring in the paint,” Lady Topper head coach Tracy Rice said. “She has worked really hard and I’m excited to see how good she can become.”
Added to Chadwell’s season numbers, the junior is shooting 91 percent from the free-throw line and 34 percent from the field.
