Cooper Named NJAC Player of the Week

PITMAN, N.J. (12/24/07) - Senior center Chari' Cooper (Paulsboro, N.J.) became the second different Kean University women's basketball player to earn New Jersey Athletic Conference Player of the Week after posting a double-double in Kean's 82-65 non-conference road victory at perennial powerhouse University of Scranton last week.

In the game, Cooper posted 11 points and a season-high 27 rebounds, single-handedly outrebounding the entire Scranton squad (27-26). 

The 27 rebounds were just three shy of her school-record 30 boards set as a freshman in 2004-05, and were the most rebounds of any NJAC player in a game this season and tied the highest single game total in NCAA Division III this season. 

Cooper currently leads the NJAC in both rebounding (15.8 per game) and steals (3.75 per game).
