Chambers and McFadden earn Athlete of the Week honors

Fayetteville, NC - The North Carolina Wesleyan Department of Athletics is pleased to announce that senior Essence Chambers of women's basketball and freshman Tyreck McFadden of football have earned USA South Athlete of the Week honors. Chambers was tabbed Player of the Week on the hardwood, while McFadden was named Offensive Rookie of the Week on the gridiron.  This is Chambers' first award and McFadden's second.

Chambers, a senior guard from Burlington, NC, led the Bishops to a 55-41 victory over Salem College in the Battling Bishops' season opener on Saturday. She tallied a double-double by scoring a game-high 21 points and grabbing ten rebounds. She also added four assists and was 9-for-12 at the free-throw line in the win.

McFadden, a freshman running back from Beulaville, NC, recorded his second consecutive 100-yard rushing game in a 35-3 win over USA South rival Greensboro. McFadden carried the ball 23 times for 109 yards, an average of 4.7 yards per carry. McFadden also tallied two touchdowns on the ground. His one-yard run in the first quarter gave the Bishops an early 7-0 lead, while his final touchdown in the fourth quarter completed the game's scoring.

Congratulations Essence and Tyreck!
