DANBURY, Conn. -- Mount Ida College junior Angelique Martinez (Taunton, Mass.) has become the first women's basketball player honored by the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) this season, earning the Corvias ECAC Dvision III New England Women's Basketball Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday, February 9th.

Earlier this week, on Monday, Martinez was also the first Mustang women's basketball player to be recognized by the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) this season, by being named the Women's Basketball Player of the Week.

Martinez is coming off of a week that saw her post double-doubles in each of Mount Ida's two games, her 12th and 13th double-doubles of the season. The center willed the Mustangs to a home win over Lasell with an impressive 20 point, 16 rebound performance, in which she started out the game shooting 6-6 from the field.

Now with double-doubles in seven consecutive games, Martinez grabbed 16 more rebounds on Saturday at Saint Joseph's College of Maine, giving her 871 career boards, tying the Mustang career mark. She also equalled the career record of 368 offensive reboounds, while scoring ten points and adding two blocks.

On Tuesday evening, in the second game of a doubleheader with the men's team, Martinez grabbed her 872nd rebound, a new school record, in the opening minutes of the game before Head Coach Katie Greene called a full time out. During that time out, the Mount Ida athletic department recognized Martinez in front of her teammates, coaches, friends and family inside the Mount Ida Athletic Center.

Martinez grabbed 10 rebounds in the non-conference setback to Mount Saint Mary (NY), 61-41, for a career total of 881 in just three years in a Mustang uniform. Martinez became the leading rebounder in men's and women's basketball history with her performance.

She leads the GNAC in both total rebounds and offensive rebounds, and is ranked sixth in the country with five offensive rebounds per game.
