Rebekah Forsyth -- HCAC Player of the Month |
TERRE HAUTE, IND. –
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology senior Rebekah Forsyth
(Farmersburg/N. Central) has been named the Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference Player of the Month for December in results released
today.
To earn the award,
Forsyth was selected as the top female athlete in any sport at any
institution during the month of December by league sports information
directors. Each college is permitted one nominee for the entire athletic
department per month, and the nine nominees are placed on one ballot for
voting.
This marks the fourth consecutive month that a Rose-Hulman athlete has
been HCAC Player of the Month. Women's tennis player Sam Danesis won the
award in September, men's soccer forward David McIlwaine won the October
award, and basketball forward Brian Bibb claimed a November award.
Forsyth has helped Rose enjoy their best start in school
history at 11-1, including a school record eight-game
winning streak. The Engineers are currently the only
unbeaten team in conference play at 4-0 this season and are
receiving votes in the D3hoops.com national poll for the
first time in school history.
In December, Forsyth averaged 21.5 points and 7.5
rebounds per game. The senior connected on 61% of her field
goal attempts and 81% from the free throw line in the month
while leading the Engineers to the perfect 6-0 mark.
Forsyth collected two HCAC Player of the Week awards for
her efforts in the month and is the first Rose-Hulman
women’s basketball player to win the HCAC Player of the
Month award.
