TOWSON, Md. --- Moravian University senior forward Kayla Yoegel has been named the Landmark Conference Women's Basketball Athlete of the Week for her performance last week.

Yoegel helped Moravian to a 2-0 week in Landmark Conference action as she averaged 23.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game to go with four blocked shots, three steals and a pair of assists while playing 61 of 80 minutes. She was 19-for-32 from the floor (59.4 percent), 4-for-7 beyond the three-point line (57.1 percent) and 5-for-7 (71.4 percent) at the foul line during the two contests. Yoegel had a career high 33 points to go with eight rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals in the Greyhounds' 74-63 win over Susquehanna University while shooting 13-for-21 from the floor and 4-for-5 on three-pointers. She then had 14 points and nine rebounds in a 66-56 victory at Goucher College.

"Kayla had a very good week on the court, and her play led us to two solid wins," stated Head Coach Mary Beth Spirk. "She is elevating her game at the right time, as each conference game is important in the playoff race. As the only senior on the team, Kayla has demonstrated solid leadership all season and I am confident she will continue her stellar play. Congratulations to Kayla, as she certainly demonstrates that hard work and effort correlate to success."

Moravian is scheduled to return to action on Monday, January 31 in a Landmark Conference game at Drew University beginning at 7:00 p.m.
