Kayla Franklin was named GSAC DIII Women's Basketball Player of the Week for her leadership and defensive consistency.  "She did an amazing job on the defensive end, controlling the boards and protecting the rim", Region 19 wrote after Franklins' efforts led Camden to wins over Salem CC and Sussex CC, earlier in the season. 

Head Coach Chip Reitano reached a huge milestone with Camden County College Women's Basketball, 100 Career Wins. A milestone that alumni, Cougar fans and family traveled to witness. 

Last Thursday night, Cougars fought hard in what NJCAA Region 19 labeled as "Woman's Game of the Year". Despite a 70-72 loss, Cougars put on a stellar performance. Chloe Crago put up 20 pts, 10reb, 6 assists and 5 steals. Kayla Franklin tallied 18 points and 11 rebounds.
