Female Athlete of the Week – Marin Scotten, Ryerson Rams, Basketball

The Ryerson Rams’ top scorer continued to play a leading role for the women’s basketball team over the weekend, as Marin Scotten brought her squad right down to the wire against a pair of fellow top-five schools.

While the end results didn’t always go the way of the Rams, Scotten had plenty to celebrate in the two tough tests. In falling just short to No. 3 Ottawa on Friday, the Ottawa, Ont. native chipped in an 18-point, 10-rebound performance. Her second double-double of the season was key in the Rams’ attempt at victory, and while they ultimately lost 74-72 to the Gee-Gees, Scotten was right back at it against the Carleton Ravens a night later.

In going toe-to-toe with the Ravens, the third-year guard finished with 21 points and five boards, but no contribution was bigger than her last-second heroics. With under 30 seconds to play, Scotten grabbed an important offensive rebound to keep the ball in the hands of the Rams and went on to hit what proved to be the game-winning three-pointer with just 12 seconds left.

The clutch long ball was not only the dagger in the game, but also the icing on the cake of a strong weekend showing that leaves Scotten with team-high 2019-20 averages of 16.1 PPG and 6.8 RPG.
