WALLOWER NAMED CEDAR CREST ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Allentown, PA (January 22, 2008) -- Freshman forward Leann Wallower (Havertown, PA/Haverford) was named the Cedar Crest Athlete of the Week for her outstanding performance in the week ending January 21.

Wallower exploded for a game-high 20 points, six rebounds, and three steals in a 66-38 loss to Misericordia University.  She continued her scoring ways, posting a game-high 17 points to lead the Falcons in a 70-52 loss to Marywood University. 

She then posted career-highs of 26 points and 11 rebounds, but it would not be enough as the Eastern University Eagles held on for a 65-61 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference victory.

The Falcons are currently 4-11 overall and 0-8 in the PAC and are set to host Misericordia University on Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m.
