Dellinger Named HCAC Athlete of the Week

Anderson University women's basketball senior Lexi Dellinger (Berne, Ind. / South Adams) has been named the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) Athlete of the Week, which was announced by the conference on Monday.

Dellinger garnered her second career HCAC Athlete-of-the-Week selection. Anderson received the program's first HCAC Athlete-of-the-Week selection since Dellinger earned the same honor in her freshman year three years ago.

Anderson (1-4) rallied past St. Mary's College (Ind.) (1-5) with an 83-75 victory last Tuesday in Notre Dame. Dellinger scored more than 30 points for the second game in a row as she poured in 34 points to lead the Ravens. Her 34 points ties for eighth for the most points scored in a single game in program history. Dellinger also collected 12 rebounds for Anderson. She converted 13-of-20 (65 percent) shots from the field and 8-of-9 (88.9 percent) attempts from the charity stripe.

Anderson takes on Mount St. Joseph University (2-3, 0-1) to kick off the HCAC season on Saturday at 2 p.m. in Cincinnati.
