JAMAICA, NY --- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) York College women's basketball senior center Mac-Dege Dessources was named Tuesday to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week and received another Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) Divisions II-III Weekly Honorable Mention selection for games played February 13-19. These honors are Dessources' second-career D3hoops.com Team of the Week nod and her fourth MBWA honorable mention distinction of the campaign.

Dessources averaged 21.5 points, 17.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 51.6 percent (16-of-31) from the floor and 61.1 percent (11-of-18) from the free-throw line in a 1-1 week for the Cardinals. Falling 85-70 on the road in the regular-season finale at Brooklyn College (Feb. 14), Dessources played all 40 minutes and totaled 22 points (7-of-17 FG, 8-of-13 FT), 15 boards, two steals and one block. Dessources followed up with a monster display in York's 68-60 CUNYAC Championship first-round victory at Baruch College (Feb. 18), pouring in 21 points (9-of-14 FG) and hauled in a clutch 20 rebounds to go with one block. With these two stellar displays, Dessources now has 19 double-doubles this season and 60 for her career. The performance against Baruch marked the third 20-point, 20 rebound game of the season for Dessources. 

Across 23 contests, the Harlem native is averaging 18.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game. Efficiency-wise, Dessources is shooting a career-high 50.9 percent (153-of-301) from the field and 64.8 percent (81-of-125) from the charity stripe. 

In the latest NCAA Division III Statistical Rankings Summary, Dessources is tied for fifth in double-doubles, sixth in rebounds per game, 39th in blocks per game, 51st in field goal percentage and 53rd in points per game. The three-time CUNYAC All-Star is also atop the CUNYAC hierarchy in rebounding and field goal percentage and ranks highly in blocks (3rd) and scoring (5th).

Dessources and the Cardinals (12-11) travel Wednesday (Feb. 22) to battle the top-seeded Brooklyn College Bulldogs (17-7) in the semifinals of the CUNYAC Championship at 6 p.m. inside West Quad Center Gymnasium.  The two teams previously met in the 2020 CUNYAC Championship semifinals.
