Eastern Division Player
Dana Weems - West Chester (Jr,
G, 5-8, Pottstown/Pottsgrove)
Weems, a junior from
Pottstown, has made an
immediate impact in her
first year with the Golden
Rams. A transfer from
Harcum Junior College, the
versatile guard helped guide
the West Chester squad to a
9-3 Eastern Division record,
10-19 overall.
Weems' play was a big reason
the Golden Rams qualified
for the PSAC playoffs for
12th time in the last 13
years, earning the
division's No. 2 seed.
She led the team in scoring
at 12.0 points per game
(17th - PSAC) and finished
second in rebounding at 7.3
per game (11th - PSAC).
Weems also ranked in the
league's top 10 in field
goal percentage (10th - 50.8
percent) and steals (5th -
2.79 per game).
In addition to this
accolade, Weems was an All-PSAC
East First Team selection.
