Sewell Earns Another MW Weekly Award

For the third time this season, senior forward Chaundra Sewell has been named Mountain West Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for games played from March 5-10, 2013.  It is the third MW weekly accolade Sewell has earned this season and of her career. She shares the honor with UNLV forward Rejane Verin.

Sewell, a senior from Broomfield, Colo., led the Cowgirls to a 65-51 win over Colorado State last week, the Wyoming’s only game of the week.  Sewell scored 22 points and grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds, including eight offensive boards. The double-double was her 11th of the season. She shot 60.0 percent (9-15) from the field and was 4-6 (66.7 percent) from the free throw line to go along with two assists and a steal.

Wyoming is getting ready to face Colorado State in the quarterfinal round of the 2013 Reese's Mountain West Basketball Championships Thursday in Las Vegas. Game time is at 9:30 p.m. Mountain time. You can listen to Cowgirl basketball on KOWB. Broadcast coverage will start at 9 p.m.
