During Saturday’s 73-61 loss versus #14 Franklin Pierce , senior center Caitlin Wheeler became the school’s All-Time blocks leader, with 108, on her fourth block of the game .With that block she passed Jessica Hegmann ,who had 107-blocks in her career when she played from 2000-2002. Wheeler achieved this in just her second season with the Lions and was excited about her record, “It was exciting to know that I broke a career record in less than two years, and have a whole season to solidify my record.” Wheeler said. Wheeler finished the game with a total of eight blocks and added three blocks in the loss to Stone Hill for a career total of 115-blocks.
Wheeler came over from CW Post last season and had an impressive first season with Molloy. She averaged 6.5 points , 5.8 rebounds ,and led the team with 104 blocks. Over the course of this season Wheeler wants to do the same things she did last year but wants to improve them a little, “I want to do everything I did last year, but better and more consistently. I want to be a prominent defender and scorer.”
Wheeler will look to add to her record in the Lions next game, which is Friday against Millersville in the latter’s tip-off tournament.
