Sophomore center Susan Marchiano of the Muhlenberg women’s basketball team has been named co-player of the week by the Centennial Conference for the second time this season.

Marchiano was honored after recording double-doubles in CC wins against Dickinson and Johns Hopkins. She averaged 19.5 points and 13.5 rebounds in the two games, both Mule wins.

Ironically, Marchiano shared the award with the same person she did earlier in the season, Amy Abernathy of Franklin & Marshall.

Marchiano entered the week ranked sixth in the CC in scoring (14.7 points per game), fourth in rebounding (9.6 rebounds per game), second in field-goal percentage (.573), third in blocked shots and tied for eighth in steals.

They need one more win to tie the school record of 19 wins in a season, set in 1995-96. Muhlenberg also made three three-pointers in the game to break the record of 105 in a season, set in 1997-98.

The Mules led 7-6 early on and then held the Fords (3-17, 1-11) without a field goal for nearly seven minutes, going on a 21-2 run to take a 20-point lead. Muhlenberg led by 30 at halftime and by as many as 38 in the second half.

Friedman also had a game-high nine rebounds and four blocked shots.
