Wesley junior Stacey O'Neale collected CAC Player of the Week honors after hitting a school-record nine three-pointers en route to a career-high 29 points in the Wolverines' 66-61 victory over St. Elizabeth. O'Neale was 9-for-11 (81.8%) from beyond the arc, breaking Wesley's previous record of seven set by Kim Smith in the 1999-2000 season. She connected on a pair of key three-pointers in the fourth quarter to give the Wolverines the edge in a back-and-forth game, and drained the game-clinching free throws with 12 seconds remaining. O'Neale also added three rebounds in the victory.
