The Wilson College Athletics Department is pleased to announce the “Athlete of the Week." Freshman Samira Murphy (Virginia Beach, Va., Great Bridge Christian) was chosen as the Athlete of the Week for her outstanding performance during last week's basketball contests. 

The Phoenix were in action twice last week, finishing the week with a 1-1 record. During the two-game span, Samira averaged 15 points per game and 7.5 rebounds. Murphy was also a key contributor in a nail biting 61-60 victory over Cairn last Sunday where she scored 18 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to help the Phoenix to their first conference win of the season. In her first season, Murphy is averaging 13.2 points per game and 5.9 rebounds.

Congratulations, Samira!
