MADISON, NJ --- Junior forward/guard Kate Harrison (Cold Spring Harbor, NY/Cold Spring Harbor HS) of the Moravian College women’s basketball team has been named the Landmark Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for her performance last week.

Harrison led Moravian to a 2-0 mark last week to extend the team's winning streak to three games including a 57-45 win over The University of Scranton to begin the 2008-09 Landmark Conference season.  Harrison began the week with 16 points and seven rebounds in Moravian's 86-72 come-from-behind win over The College of New Jersey.  She then had another 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots in the victory over Scranton, which was another come-from-behind win.
