NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Sophomore Chandler Williams (Chepachet, R.I.) of the women's basketball team and junior Michael Mallory (Waterbury, Conn.) of the men's basketball team have been named as the Connecticut Army National Guard/Southern Connecticut State University Athletes of the Week.
Williams registered a career and team-high 13 points, including a troika of three-pointers, in the Owls' 70-60 victory over St. Edward's on Sunday.
Mallory scored a career-high 43 points, including nine three-pointers, in the Owls' 107-94 win over American International on Tuesday. It was the most points scored by an Owl in a game in almost 40 years, and was just three off the SCSU single-game record.

Initiated in September, 2007, the 'Athlete of the Week' program recognizes one female and one male student-athlete each week for demonstrated excellence on the playing field.
