BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Sophomore guard
Madison Young of the Concord University women's basketball team was named Mountain East Conference Player of the Week, presented by The Health Plan, for the first time in her career, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
For the week, Young averaged 19.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and knocked down 10 three-pointers in two Concord wins.
She got her week started with a record-breaking performance on the road at West Virginia Wesleyan, scoring a career-high 23 points and sinking six three-point buckets. Her six-made three-pointers tied five other Mountain Lions for the most in a single-game in program history. Then, she followed up with 15 points and four-made triples in a home win over Davis & Elkins.
On the season, Young averages 5.8 points per game and leads CU shooting 36.0 percent from long range. Additionally, she has made a team-best 36 three-point baskets this winter. Her contributions for the week pushed Concord's winning streak to five games, its longest since the 2021-22 season.
The Mountain Lions travel to Wheeling for a 5:30 p.m. tip Wednesday.
