Brittney Chappron Named MASCAC Co-Player of the Week

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. - For the second straight week, Bridgewater State College junior guard Brittney Chappron has been selected as the Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week. Chappron shares the honor this week along with Salem State College senior forward Danielle Jenkins.
A native of Braintree, Massachusetts, Chappron averaged 23.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in a 2-0 week for the Bears while shooting 71% (17-for-24) from the field, 70% (7-for-10) from three-point range and 86% (6-for-7) at the free throw line.
Chappron tallied 13 points on 6 of 8 shooting in BSC's 71-52 win on the road versus Worcester State, and then poured in a career-high 34 points while knocking down a program record seven three-pointers in an 83-69 victory over Salem State. She connected on 11 of 16 field goal attempts in the win over Salem, including 7-of-9 from 3-point land, and converted all five of her free throws. Chappron's 34 points was one shy of the school single-game mark of 35 set by Catie Furtado against Pine Manor College in 2006.
Through 16 games this season, Chappron is averaging 14.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game. She is shooting 47% (89-for-188) from the field, 34% (31-for-92) from behind the arc and 79% (26-for-33) at the line. Chappron currently ranks second in the MASCAC in scoring and made three-pointers, sixth in three-point shooting percentage and eighth in field goal percentage.
The Bridgewater State women's basketball team is undefeated in
MASCAC play on the season as they sit alone atop the conference
standings. The Bears, winners of six straight games, are 9-7
overall and 5-0 in the MASCAC. Bridgewater will look to make
it seven straight wins on Tuesday night when the Bears head to
North Adams to take on conference rival MCLA at 5:30 PM.
In 41 games over two seasons with the Bears, Chappron has scored
476 points for an average of 11.6 points per game. She is
also a career 72% shooter (68-for-94) at the free throw line and
has knocked down 60 of 187 (32%) three-point field goal attempts.
