BROCKPORT, NY - On Monday, January 26th the Empire 8 Conference named Stephanie Jean-Baptiste as Women's Basketball Co-Player of the Week following two outstanding performances in a 2-0 weekend for the Golden Eagles. Jean-Baptiste has earned her third Empire 8 Women's Basketball weekly accolade. 

In Brockport's 11-point win at Houghton on Friday, Jean-Baptiste provided a gutsy performance, leading the squad with 20 points and 12 rebounds for her first double-double effort of the season. Jean-Baptiste's 12 rebounds matched a career-high, adding three assists and a steal in a strong effort. In Saturday's 31-point win at Alfred, SJB was ultra-efficient, scoring 21 points (10-16 FG) on 60% shooting from deep (3-5 3PT), adding five rebounds, a block, and a steal in a well-rounded effort.  

On the week, Jean-Baptiste averaged 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and a steal per game, posting 20+ points with 5+ rebounds in three of her last four outings. Leading the Empire 8 conference in points per game (18.9), Jean-Baptiste ranks seventh in field goal percentage (43.5%) despite attempting the third most shots of all Empire 8 athletes (262). She is on pace to set new single-season career best marks in PPG (18.9), RPG (5.9),  FT% (80%), and total blocks (11). 

The Golden Eagles are riding a five game Empire 8 winning streak, and will host Russell Sage on Friday at 5:30 PM for the Play4Kay game in the Fight Against Cancers Affecting Women.
