Kostowicz Named To NCAA “Starting Five”

Sophomore earns more praise

MILWAUKEE – The awards continue to pour in for Steph Kostowicz.
 
On Wednesday, the sophomore forward for the Milwaukee women's basketball team was named to the NCAA "Starting Five" on NCAA.com. Like the title suggests, Kostowicz was one of five players in all of women's college basketball to be named to the list.
 
The article described their reasoning for choosing the Panther for their distinguished list below.
 
"Behind back-to-back career highs in points from Steph Kostowicz, Milwaukee shot up the conference standings this week as the Panthers collected road wins at Wright State and Northern Kentucky. On Jan. 21, Kostowicz tied her career-high with 20 points, while adding nine rebounds, two steals and a block in an 82-60 win over Wright State, handing the Raiders their first league loss of the year. The sophomore wrapped up her weekend by helping Milwaukee to another lopsided win, this time by 26 points (86-60) at Northern Kentucky. Kostowicz reached a new career-high with 23 points on a near-perfect 7-of-8 shooting from the field. She also hauled in eight rebounds, blocked three shots and had a pair of assists and steals. For the week she averaged 21.5 points per game, tallied 17 rebounds and shot 60 percent from the floor, 50 percent from beyond the three-point line and 78.6 percent from the charity stripe. Milwaukee (11-7 and 5-2) returns to play this Thursday, Jan. 28, hosting Detroit."

This marks the third award for Kostowicz this week, as she was also named the Horizon League Player of the Week, as well as the College Sports Madness High Major Player of the week.
 
Kostowicz and UWM return to the court Thursday when they host Detroit from the Klotsche Center at 7 p.m. – a game that can be seen live on TV on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel.
