Groczynski Recognized As CACC Rookie of the Week
New Haven, CT – (11/21/2011) – Chestnut Hill College received its second Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Rookie of the Week selection of the season with freshman guard
Olivia Gorczynski (Parlin, NJ) earning the award for the week ending January 15. Since her arrival, Gorczynski has added a new dimension to the Griffin offense with her outside shooting. She went 6-of-10 (60.0%) from three-point territory in a 69-85 loss at Holy Family University on Tuesday, January 10.
Gorczynski’s 18 points against the Tigers led all scorers in the contest and she gave Chestnut Hill College (2-13, 1-7) three rebounds, two assists, and three steals in addition to her performance from beyond the arch. Unfortunately, Holy Family University captured the win only after using a 27-10 mid first-half run to overcome a stingy Griffin defense for a 39-33 halftime advantage. In four games with the Griffins, Gorczynski has provided 11.8 PPG, 1.3 RPG, two assists, a block, and three steals. Fellow freshman guard
Lila Jones (Lansdale, PA) was the CACC Rookie of the Week for the week ending November 20.
The women’s basketball team remains at home to host Georgian Court University in a 6:00 p.m. contest on Wednesday, January 18.
