KUTZTOWN, PA. (December 23, 2009) – Kutztown University senior center Chauntelle Schroeder (Toronto, Ontario, CANADA/Mother Teresa) was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) East women’s basketball player of the week.

In addition to shooting 7-for-11 from the field, Schroeder grabbed a season-high nine rebounds, had three steals and handed out a pair of assists. Schroeder’s effort helped Kutztown improve its overall record to 6-2.

Schroeder scored seven points during a 15-9 run in the second half to help the Golden Bears open their largest advantage of the game against the Dolphins, 47-32 with 9 minutes, 46 seconds remaining.

Schroeder, who has scored in double figures four times this season, averages 9.5 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game. She has grabbed seven or more rebounds in three straight games for Kutztown. Schroeder leads Kutztown in steals with 14.

The Golden Bears finish their non-conference schedule when they visit Philadelphia University Tuesday afternoon in a game beginning at 2 p.m.
