SELINSGROVE, Pa. - Susquehanna University senior center Karyn Kern has been selected to the Middle Atlantic Conference Weekly Honor Roll in women's basketball for the week ending January 14, the conference announced Monday.

Kern (Brodheadsville, Pa./Pleasant Valley H.S.) averaged 16.0 points and 15.0 rebounds in two games for the Crusaders (9-4 overall, 3-2 Commonwealth Conference), including her 50th career double-double on the strength of 25 points and a season-high 19 rebounds in a 69-61 win over Lebanon Valley on Tuesday night.

Kern leads the Commonwealth Conference in rebounding at 11.4 boards per game and is third in scoring average at 16.2 points per contest.
