Caitlin Thilo
Women's Basketball

OLIVET, Mich. -- Olivet College senior women's basketball player Caitlin Thilo of Onondaga has been named the Comet of the Week for Dec. 13.

Thilo averaged 13 points, as the Comets split two Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) games last week. In a 72-67 loss Dec. 7 against Saint Mary's (Ind.) College, she scored 11 points and followed that game with a team-high 15 points in a 52-40 victory over Trine (Ind.) University Dec. 12. For the week, Thilo made 7-of-10 baskets, including a perfect 4-of-4 from behind the arc against Trine. She also canned 6-of-10 tosses from the charity stripe.

Thilo and the Comets will travel to play MIAA rival Albion College Wednesday night. Tip-off inside Kresge Gymnasium is 7:30 p.m.

Olivet's sports information office will select a Comet of the Week throughout the remainder of the 2010-11 academic year. The athlete will be featured on the home page of the athletics Web site at www.olivetcollege.edu/athletics.
