NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Senior Abby Hurlbert (Thomaston, Conn.) of the women’s basketball team and sophomore Michael Agyeman (Manchester, Conn.) of the men’s basketball team have been named as the Chick-fil-A of North Haven/Southern Connecticut State University Athletes of the Week.
Hurlbert powered the Owls to a 2-0 week with averages of 25.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 assists per game. She also connected on 20-of-35 shots from the field (57.1) and 7-of-15 three-pointers. Hurlbert scored a career-high 30 points to help the Owls’ rally for a win over Assumption to start the week, and followed that up with a team-high 20 points – and the game-winning buzzer-beater – in a triumph over St. Michael’s.
Agyeman claimed first place in the triple jump with a leap of 14.88 meters at the Dr. Sander Invitational. His mark was a NCAA provisional qualifying figure. Agyeman topped numerous Division I and Division II performers with his second-best leap of the season.
Chick-fil-A of North Haven, located at 560 Universal Drive, is serving as the title sponsor of Southern Connecticut State University’s ‘Athlete of the Week’ recognition program. 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.
