Trio of Blue Devils Elected Captains for 2016-17
8/15/2016 9:50:00 AM | Women's Basketball
DURHAM, N.C.— As head coach Joanne P. McCallie and the Duke women's basketball program wrapped up summer workouts last week, three captains were chosen by a vote of the team members. Senior Oderah Chidom, redshirt junior Rebecca Greenwell and junior transfer Lexie Brown will guide the squad in 2016-17.
Chidom closed her junior season in a big way as she averaged 14.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 1.5 assists over the final eight contests. She started 25 games and collected back-to-back career highs of 20 points against North Carolina and Virginia. A 6-4 native of Oakland, Calif., Chidom posted two double-doubles on the season. She averaged 14.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 assists in two games of the ACC Tournament in 2016.
A product of Owensboro, Ky., Greenwell averaged 15.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals, while earning All-ACC second team accolades. One of the top three-point shooters in the nation, Greenwell was listed on the USBWA, Naismith and Wooden Award lists for National Player of the Year. The 6-1 guard already ranks eighth on Duke's all-time three-pointers made charts with 145. Greenwell ranked in the top 10 of four different ACC categories along with 20th in rebounding a year ago.
One of the top guards in the nation, Brown will suit up for the Blue Devils this season, after two outstanding years at Maryland. A 5-9 guard from Suwanee, Ga., Brown was a 2015 Associated Press Third Team All-America, All-Big Ten First Team, All-Big Ten Defensive Team and the Big Ten Tournament Most Outstanding Player as a sophomore. She averaged 13.3 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 steals, while draining 69 three-pointers. In two years she hit 120 treys, while averaging 11.8 points at Maryland.
Duke returns three starters off its squad that totaled a 20-12 overall record a year ago, while welcoming in Brown, a former Maryland All-America, to the mix.
The Blue Devil returning starters include Greenwell, Chidom and sophomore Kyra Lambert. Duke also welcomes back sophomore Crystal Primm, sophomore Haley Gorecki, sophomore Lyneé Belton, sophomore Faith Suggs and junior Erin Mathias. Cooper, a senior from Carson, Calif., is expected to return after missing the second half of last season.
McCallie will add Odom, a McDonald's All-America, and freshman Emily Schubert to the mix in 2016-17 as well.
