On Monday, Pitt-Johnstown sophomore guard Makalyn Clapper was been named the PSAC West Co-Women's Basketball Athlete of the Week after averaging 15.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 4.0 steals, including a late steal that helped preserve the Mountain Cats' three-point victory over 17th-ranked IUP last Monday.

Clapper, who helped lead Pitt-Johnstown to wins over 17th-ranked IUP and 14th-ranked Gannon last week, shares this week's honor with IUP's Rajah Fink.

In the win over the Crimson Hawks last Monday, Clapper scored 14 points on 5-9 shooting (2-2 FG) and collected game-highs of 10 rebounds and five steals. Her steal and free-throw with :04 remaining helped close out the 63-60 win over the 17th-ranked Crimson Hawks.

Clapper followed that effort up with 17 points on 7-10 shooting and 3-4 from behind the arc in Saturday's 72-53 win over 14th-ranked Gannon in the Sports Center.  Clapper also grabbed four rebounds, dished out two assists, and made three more steals.
