Juniors King, Carroll Joined by Sophomore Graham<\/b><\/p>\nJuniors King, Carroll Joined by Sophomore Graham<\/b><\/p>\n
Colgate head coach Bill Cleary announced Friday afternoon that Summer King, Mackenzie Carroll and Tegan Graham are serving as captains for the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n
King and Carroll are juniors and Graham is a sophomore.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have selected a very strong group of leaders for the 2017-18 season,\u201d Cleary said. \u201cIt was a very difficult choice \u2013 we had a lot of good candidates to choose from. But these three really stand out day-to-day.\u201d<\/p>\n
King ranks among the\u00a0Patriot League leaders in scoring (12th), rebounding (4th), field goal percentage (4th), free throw percentage (12th) and blocked shots (4th). She already has three double-doubles this season and has posted personal game highs for scoring (21) and rebounding (17).<\/p>\n
\u201cSummer has bought in from Day 1, taking everything we say and applying it to her everyday routine \u2013 and you can see the results,\u201d Cleary said. \u201cShe is a great leader by example but the other thing is there\u2019s a leader inside of her. She doesn\u2019t always realize the respect she has among her teammates, but it\u2019s there and she\u2019s a very effective leader.\u201d<\/p>\n
Graham is coming off a career night in Colgate\u2019s tough-luck loss to Siena. She scored a personal-best 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting and was 2-of-2 from 3-point distance. She added collegiate highs with three steals and 36 minutes played, and she\u2019s up to fourth on the team in scoring at 8.1.<\/p>\n
\u201cTegan is a strong vocal leader in a very positive way,\u201d Cleary said. \u201cShe makes sure the players are following through on everything we want and has no problem telling her teammates what they need to hear. She\u2019s a born leader and, when she was injured last year, she saw things from a different perspective and that insight she gained has been very positively received.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carroll in the early going ranks fourth among Patriot League 3-point shooting leaders at 50 percent, on 5-of-10. She scored a season-high 11 points in Colgate\u2019s 74-70 win at Cornell, swishing 3-of-4 from long distance.<\/p>\n
\u201cMackenzie is the perfect example of the type of person and player you want representing your program and your culture,\u201d Cleary said. \u201cShe is someone who never takes a play off and never takes a day off. If she\u2019s not in the gym, she\u2019s in the library or in the Chun academic center. She\u2019s always working and always striving to be better than she was the day before, which is a staple of our program.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
