CHICAGO, Illinois -- Several days after leaving the Bethune-Cookman program, leading scorer Clemmye Owens will transfer to Chicago State,according to Corey Albertson of Prep Hoops Ohio.

On Tuesday, Albertson was the first to report that Owens and Bethune-Cookman reserve guard Tony Kynard both decided to transfer. Albertson later reported on Friday night that Kynard is still weighing his options.

The 6-foot-1 Owens was a MEAC All-Rookie selection last season. He had avoided a sophomore slump during the 2014-15 season, averaging 15.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Bethune-Cookman has limped to a 4-11 record, losing two of the last three without Owens in the lineup.

Owens will be joining a Chicago State program that has its own struggles. The Cougars are currently 4-13, and haven’t had a winning season since 2008-09.
