ST. JOSEPH – Missouri Western’s Chelsea Dewey has been named MIAA Women’s Basketball Athlete of the Week.  Dewey was vital for the Griffons in their upset win at previous unbeaten #19 Central Oklahoma.

The senior guard from Gower, Missouri scored a team-high 17 point and dished out a team leading six assists in the 67-57 win.  She was a perfect 3-3 from the free throw line and was 3-6 from the three-point arc. This is the first Athlete of the Week honor for Dewey and MWSU on the season.

Missouri Western returns home on Thursday, January 5 as they host #6 Pittsburg State at 5:30 p.m. in the MWSU Fieldhouse.
