Destiny Robinson of Chowan and Abigail Crain of Belmont Abbey Capture Final Women’s Basketball Weekly Honor of Season
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Destiny Robinson of Chowan and Abigail Crain of Belmont Abbey were selected as the final Conference Carolinas weekly award winners for 2022-23 women’s basketball season for their performances during the week ending Feb. 22.
Robinson was selected as the Player of the Week for the first time this season, but she has been Defensive Player of the Week five times. Crain earned Defensive Player of the Week recognition for the second time this year and it’s her third weekly honor as she was also Player of the Week once.
A forward from Hampton, Virginia, Robinson scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for her 12th double-double of the season. The graduate student’s efforts helped the Hawks to a 69-60 win over Barton in the regular-season finale. Robinson added one block and one assist in the game as she shot 53 percent (9-of-17) from the field and went 12-for-13 (92 percent) at the free throw line.
Crain finished one rebound shy of her fourth double-double of the season as her defensive efforts helped spark a fourth quarter comeback that gave the Crusaders a 55-51 win over UNC Pembroke in the regular-season finale to clinch the regular season conference title outright. The sophomore forward from Windermere, Florida netted 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds, six defensive, to go with two assists in the victory.
