Spanou Set to Join
Elite 1,000-500-200-100 Club
Junior forward Artemis Spanou is on the verge of doing
something only two players in RMU history and only 16 players in NEC history
have done - reach 1,000 career points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 100
steals. Spanou needs just 2 more assists to become a member of that elite group.
The two RMU players to accomplish the feat are Betsy Puskar (1982-86, 1,035
pts., 632 reb., 254 asts., 206 steals) and Chinata Nesbit (2006-08, 1,083 pts.,
620 reb., 245 asts., 124 stls.).
