Cape Air Athletes of the Week - Knight and Zhang

Freshman Angela Zhang did something this past weekend that no woman at Dartmouth has done before. The Vancouver, British Columbia native shot an even par over three rounds at the FAU Winter Warmup for the women's golf team. Junior Chris Knight also had an historic night, scoring the 1,000th point of his career as the men's basketball team swept an Ivy home weekend against Cornell and Columbia

Their efforts are rewarded by being named the Cape Air Athletes of the Week.

Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as the Cape Air Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.

Chris Knight Jr., Madison, Wis., F, Men's Basketball

Knight, a junior from Madison, Wisconsin, rarely missed a shot in the two games, shooting a combined 85.7 percent (18-of-21) from the floor while averaging 20.0 points and 6.0 rebounds. Against the Lions, Knight matched a season-high with 23 points — including the 1,000th of his career — on 10-of-11 shooting, plus blocked a pair of shots as Dartmouth squeaked out a 65-63 victory, ending a nine-game skid. The next night, the 6-7, 225-pound forward produced 17 points on 8-of-10 field goals along with 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the season in a 75-53 romp over the Big Red, giving Dartmouth its first Ivy weekend sweep in five years. Knight currently leads the Big Green in scoring (13.7 ppg), field goal percentage (.517), blocked shots (30) and steals (20). And with his 1,000th career point, he became the 30th Dartmouth player to achieve the milestone.

Angela Zhang Fr., Vancouver, British Columbia, Women's Golf

Zhang, a freshman from Vancouver, British Columbia, had a historic performance at the FAU Winter Warmup to kick off the spring season for women's golf. Over the three rounds, she shot even par (73-72-71—216) to finish third overall in the individual standings, but also produce the lowest score in program history. The rookie sank 12 birdies and 30 pars over the 54-hole tournament to lead Dartmouth to a fourth-place finish, including a final round of 293 (+5), the lowest single round for a Big Green team in relation to par ever. Between the fall and spring seasons thus far, Zhang has a stroke average of 75.1, second lowest on the team.
