SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Senior Samantha Crough (Cohasset, Mass.) of the Endicott women's basketball team has been named the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Player of the Week for her performances last week that helped lead the Gulls to three conference victories. In her 29 point performance over Roger Williams the senior became the ninth player in program history to reach a career 1,000 point milestone.
Crough scored in double figures in all three games for the Gulls this past week. In a big 79-50 victory over Salve Regina she posted 14 points, and eight rebounds. When the forward traveled to Roger Williams in addition to her 29 points she tallied seven rebounds in the overtime thriller, while her 27th point of the game gave her a place in the 1,000 point club. In the final game of the week Crough recorded 17 points, nine boards, three assists and three steals in the 74-58 victory over Curry.
With the three victories the Gulls move to 9-3, (5-1 CCC). In the conference so far this season the squad is shooting 37% from inside the arc, 34% from long range and 78% from the charity mark. The Blue and Green will tip off next on Wednesday, January 15th when they host CCC opponent Nichols (7-5, 2-4 CCC) for a 7:30 p.m. start.
