Scranton, PA – Marywood University basketball players Lauren Rogan and Sidney Tharpe have been honored by the Colonial States Athletic Conference for their performances on the court last week. Rogan was named the CSAC Women’s Basketball Co-Player of the Week while Tharpe was named to the Men’s Basketball Player of the Week Honor Roll as both teams won a pair of conference games.
Rogan (Archbald, PA) was named co-player of the week after leading Marywood to a pair of key conference wins. The Holy Cross graduate scored a game-high 21 points on 6-10 shooting, including 5-8 from three-point range, in Marywood's 71-65 win over Neumann on Monday as the Pacers handed the Knights their first conference loss of the season.

Rogan, who shares Player of the Week honors with Cabrini College’s Deana DiAmico, is the fourth Marywood player to earn weekly honors. Mariah Schaeffer (Bainbridge, NY) was named the CSAC Player of the Week for the week ending December 6th while Lizzy Green and Amanda Lass (Shenandoah, PA) each have been named to the Player of the Week Honor Roll since.
