SAN DIEGO – For the second time in her career, Cal State San Marcos women’s basketball player Emma Forel has been named a December Star of the Month by the San Diego Sports Association, the organization announced on Friday.
This is CSUSM’s fourth Star of the Month of the 2019-20 season and eighth for the 2019 calendar year. Forel previously earned the honor in December 2018.
The Lyon, France, native guided the No. 24/16 Cal State San Marcos women’s basketball team to their best start in program history as she shot 58.8% from the field in December while averaging 10.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. Forel tallied 17 rebounds at Cal State San Bernardino – the most by a Cougar this season.
For the season, Forel boasts a team-leading 59.0 field-goal percentage, 8.8 rebounds per game and 19 steals while averaging the second-most points per game at 11.4.
Each month, the San Diego Hall of Champions honors as many as four professional, six amateur and six high school athletes as Stars of the Month for their outstanding athletic accomplishments. Stars of the Month are recognized in the San Diego Union-Tribune, via the Hall of Champions’ app, social media channels and website, and at San Diego’s premier sports awards gala, Salute to the Champions. They also receive a Breitbard Star of the Month Certificate of Athletic Achievement. Top-performing Stars of the Month can also earn Star of the Year accolades. Those considered are either from San Diego or have achieved stardom for local teams.
