PEORIA, Ill. -- Senior women's basketball player MacKenzie Westcott (Williamsburg, Iowa/Williamsburg) has been named the Bradley Country Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week announced Wednesday after helping the Bradley women's basketball team to a pair of wins last week.

Westcott averaged 10.5 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in wins against Evansville (82-64) and Southern Illinois (66-50) last week.  She had six points and a season-high five assists to go along with a career-best and Renaissance Coliseum record 15 rebounds in the victory against the Purple Aces.  Westcott followed it up by matching a season-high with 15 points and also grabbed 13 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the year Saturday against SIU.  An actuarial science major, Westcott owns a 3.74 cumulative grade point average. 
 
Each week, a Bradley student-athlete is selected as the Country Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week.  The individual chosen must be at least a sophomore in class standing and boast a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, while displaying a level of athletic excellence.
