January 6th, 2014
Westmont seniors Kelsie Sampson and C.J. Miller have each been selected as the inaugural 2013-14 Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) Basketball Players of the Week. Sampson hails from Torrance while Miller calls La Verne his home.
In three games last week, Sampson tallied 70 points (23.3 per game) and 15 rebounds (5.0 per game). Against Dordt (Iowa) on December 31, the 6-1 forward posted a career high 35 points. In 12 games this season, Sampson is averaging 20.3 points and 7.4 rebounds.
“Kelsie has been playing at a high level all year,” said Westmont women’s basketball head coach Kirsten Moore. “She has been consistently able to perform against defenses that are trying to shut her down.
With 920 points in her career, Sampson is on pace to become the eleventh women’s player to reach 1,000 points.
