Women’s Basketball Freshman, Isobel Crosswhite, named Co-Mariner of the Month for December. The Fortuna High School graduate has started in all 13 games thus far. Crosswhite excelled through the month of December with season-high scoring and rebounding.  

In December, Crosswhite averaged 5.8-9.8 field goals and 12.4 rebounds per game. On December 2nd, Crosswhite grabbed a season-high of 18 rebounds against Taft College; 7 offensive and 11 defensive. Crosswhite’s strong rebounding has left her ranked 5th in the Bay Valley Conference and 21st  in the state. In the very next game on December 8th versus Las Positas College, Crosswhite netted a season-high of 27 points, shooting 68.8% from the field and 100% from the free-throw line; 4th in field-goal percentage in the Bay Valley Conference. Isobel has posted 5 double-doubles this season.  

Coach Schaefer previously commented “Isobel was instrumental to our offensive presence inside and dominated the boards. She was consistent the whole game which created opportunities for her teammates to get good looks offensively.” Crosswhite has been a leader on the court by contributing in various ways that may not be accounted for on the stat sheet.  

In her first season, Crosswhite has been a huge contributor to the success of the Mariners from inside the paint.
