BROCKPORT, NY - On Monday, February 9th, the Empire 8 conference named Stephanie Jean-Baptiste Women's Basketball Athlete of the Week following a historic week of action for the senior from Jersey City, NJ. This week marks Jean-Baptiste's fourth weekly honor of the season.

Across a 2-1 week for the Golden Eagles, SJB finished the week averaging 24.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 steals per game, beginning the week with a strong outing against SUNY Geneseo. In Brockport's 72-64 win over the Knights last Tuesday, Jean-Baptiste provided a solid 14 points, four rebounds, and two assists in a winning effort. Following a 20-point, five-rebound effort in a loss against Nazareth on Friday, SJB would rewrite the record books.

Leading the way with a historic effort in Brockport's 91-84 win over St. John Fisher, SJB displayed excellent efficiency on tremendous volume. Jean-Baptiste would set a new program record for points in a single game, breaking Lisa Diaz's 45-year old scoring record with 41 points, adding eight rebounds and five steals in one of the best performances in Brockport Basketball history. She would finish the contest shooting 15-19 from the floor (78.8%), a perfect 9-9 from the free throw line, and 50% from beyond the arc (2-4).

On the season, Jean-Baptiste leads the Empire 8 in scoring with 19.1 PPG, snatching 5.5 rebounds per game with 2.2 steals per contest. She currently holds Empire 8 top-ten marks in field goal percentage (45.1%, 6th), free throw percentage (79.8%, 6th), and steals per game (2.2, T-6). 

The Golden Eagles (15-7, 11-2 E8) will welcome SUNY Poly for National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Friday, February 9th, at 5:30 PM.
