Rincon/University’s O’Dowd third local player to eclipse 1,000 career points in a week



A week after Flowing Wells’ Nevaeh Urenda reached 1,000 points in her career and a few days after St. Augustine’s Megan Callahan did the same, Rincon/University’s Leila O’Dowd achieved the feat Tuesday night.

Urenda, a senior guard, eclipsed the 1,000-point mark when she scored 21 points in a 50-37 win at Buena last week. She is now at 1,043 points for the Lady Caballeros (15-5, 3-0 5A Southern).

Callahan, also a senior guard, is at 1,001 points after scoring 20 points in a 42-36 win over Desert Christian in the MLK Classic at McKale Center on Monday.

St. Augustine improved to 12-8 overall with the victory. The Wolvers are 2-3 in the 2A South.

O’Dowd, a sophomore guard, scored 38 points in a 62-51 win over Tucson High on Tuesday. The output gave her 1,005 points in her career.

She has 626 points this season (even though she missed the first couple of games with an ankle injury) after producing 379 last year as a freshman starter on the varsity team.

Rincon/University (14-7, 1-0 6A South) will celebrate her achievement during Friday’s home game against Marana.
