Two Former Berlin Girl's Basketball Players Honored By College Conference

Two former Berlin High School girl's basketball players were honored for their successful college seasons on Tuesday.

Kaitlin Bovee, a junior at Roger Williams University was named to the first team and Chelsea Vujs, a freshman at Western New England was named to the second team of the Commonwealth Conference.

Voting for the All-CCC team was conducted among CCC women’s basketball coaches.

Bovee is currently enjoying one of her best seasons during her three years at Roger Williams University. The junior forward is averaging a career-best 16.5 points per game, leading both the team and the entire conference. She also leads the CCC in three-point percentage (.446) and is third in the CCC in field goal percentage (.466). She set a new career high with 27 points in an 82-59 win over Eastern Nazarene College on January 23. In addition, she notched her 1,000th career point against Nichols on February 6.

Vujs made an immediate impact as a freshman by averaging 10.6 points and 8.2 rebounds while starting in 24 of the team's 25 games heading into tonight's CCC tournament quarterfinal game against Endicott at home. She leads the Golden Bears in both field goal shooting at 45.3 percent (111-245) and rebounding (8.2 rpg, 204), which ranks sixth and eighth in the CCC, respectively. She is the reigning CCC Rookie of the Week and received similar accolades from the New England Women's Basketball Association on Jan. 14. She also is one of the league leaders with a team-best eight double-doubles.
