LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell junior Desire Almind (Blairstown, N.J./North Warren Regional) has received the December Athlete of the Month Award and senior Molly Creamer (Mendham, N.J./West Morris Mendham) has received the January award for basketball from local co-sponsors K.I.C.K.S. Marshall Arts for Women and Curves for Women.
The December and January awards were announced at the monthly Bucknell Women's Sports Luncheon, held Thursday, Feb. 6. Sponsored by K.I.C.K.S. Marshall Arts for Women and Curves for Women, the luncheon recognizes one outstanding student-athlete from each Bucknell women's sport in season at that time. The other winners for the months of December and January, as selected by their respective coaches, were Amy Calvo and Tolulope Fayanjuola for indoor track and field and Jamie Flick for swimming.
Almind is the third leading scorer for the Bison with 212 points for the season. She averages 15.1 points per game and 7.5 rebounds per game. The junior needs 63 points to become the 14th player in school history, and the fifth player in the last four years, to eclipse 1,000 career points.
Creamer, now with 2,226 career points, had a record-setting month in January. At 2,076 career points, she broke the Patriot League all-time scoring record, and in the same game Creamer broke the PL single-season consecutive free-throws made record, making 34. She broke the Bucknell all-time scoring record with her 2,113th career point. On Friday, Jan. 31, Creamer broke Colgate's home court single-game scoring record with 37 points.
The Bucknell women's basketball team owns a 9-10 overall record and is 4-3 in the Patriot League. The Bison will start the second half of the league season when they visit American on Saturday, Feb. 8 with a 3:15 p.m. start time.
The next Women's Sport Luncheon will be held on Thursday, Mar. 6 at noon.
