Female Athlete of the Week – Alexandra Chili, Basketball

Chili sparked the Mules to a 60-57 come-from-behind win at Washington by scoring 18 of her 21 points in the second half. She netted eight straight points in one 71-second span that took the score from 38-23 to 38-31. Her steal and pass led to free throws that gave Muhlenberg its first lead, and she hit the game-winning basket with 43.1 seconds left. In three games on the week, Chili averaged 16.3 points to hang on to the Centennial Conference scoring lead.
