Women's

Olivia Rangel

Her contributions included scoring Carroll's final eight points of the game.

 

Jada Thompson

Thompson led the Roadrunners in a 2-0 week with wins over New Jersey City University and Rowan. Against NJCU she tallied 17 points and 16 rebounds with six assists and against Rowan posted 21 points and 11 rebounds. She was named NJAC Player of the Week while averaging 19 points, 14 rebounds, and four assists per game.

 

Kendall Harris

Harris, NESCAC Player of the Week made three free throws with 1.2 seconds left to lift Hamilton to a 64-63 victory at the University of Rochester. She finished with 22 points and 10 boards and went 8-for-9 at the free-throw line. Harris also posted 17 points, 14 rebounds, three steals, and two assists in a 69-54 triumph against SUNY Brockport.  On the week, she averaged 20 points and 12 boards per game.

 

Bella Vaillant

Vaillant led the Yellow Jackets to a pair of OAC victories, against Capital and at John Carroll; she had a double-double in each game.  Vaillant averaged 20 points and 15 rebounds, shooting 67% from the floor.

 

Kamsi Nwogu

Nwogu was MIT's best player in a huge week for the Engineers. She averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds per game, shooting 57% from the floor.  Nwogu put up 14 points on 7-of-12 shooting to go along with 12 rebounds (seven offensive) and three steals in an 89-82 victory over Bridgewater State on Tuesday. She followed this up with 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-4 FT) and 10 rebounds in the Engineers' 79-68 win at then-ranked Trinity (CT) on Saturday.

 

Men's

Miles Barnstable

Barnstable powered the Warhawks to a comeback win at Hope, shooting 10-18 from the floor, with four three-pointers, and a perfect 11-11 from the charity stripe for a game-high 35 points - and Whitewater needed every one of them. Down by six with 30 seconds left, Barnstable took over the game scoring seven of UWW's last nine points and registering two huge defensive plays to secure the win in his only game of the week.

 

Shane Regan

Regan put up phenomenal individual statistics in leading the Cardinals to a pair of dominating home wins over Colby-Sawyer and Bridgewater State. He averaged 23 points, eight assists, and four steals per game on 77% shooting, including 71% from three, and 88% from the free throw line. Regan started with 18 points (8-11 FG) and seven assists with no turnovers as Wesleyan defeated the Chargers. He followed with a career-high 28 points (9-11 FG, 5-6 3FG) with a career-high eight assists against just one turnover with five steals.  That's good for a 15/1 assist to turnover ratio on the week.

 

Peter Gorman

Gorman led the Roadrunners in a 2-0 week with wins over New Jersey City University and an OT win over Rowan. We don't normally put two players from the same school on Team of the Week, but Ramapo forced our hand.  Gorman averaged 28 points and shot 60% from the field, 58% from the three-point line, and was perfect from the free throw line. He sank five straight three-pointers in the final 5:22 of the second half, including one to tie the game at 93 with 2.5 seconds remaining and send it to overtime. He finished with 28 points against Rowan and 27 points against NJCU.

 

Cade Carroll

Carroll averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds per game in leading Crown to two road conference wins this week. He managed a 32 point effort against Northland and a Double-Double against UW-Superior, totaling 47 points, 20 rebounds, four steals, and three assists on the week, with zero turnovers.  He also shot 60% from the field and 50% from three.

 

Jordan Oates

Oates is a rebounding machine.  He began the week with 21 points and 19 rebounds against Lancaster Bible, shooting 8-of-12 from the field.  He then added a season-high 25 points and career-high 20 rebounds for his third consecutive double-double in a massive 80-74 victory over Gettysburg.  He also contributed three assists, a steal, and two blocks per game.
