ALFRED, NY -- The Alfred University women's basketball team had its second student-athlete in two weeks to be honored by the Empire 8 Athletic Conference as first year Jessica Wilcox (Forestville, NY/Pine Valley) was selected as the Rookie of the Week on Monday afternoon.

Wilcox had back-to-back games of double-figure scoring in the Saxons' 1-1 week with a win over Keuka on Tuesday. Wilcox broke her collegiate career-best twice this past week, having set her scoring at a high of 11 points back against SUNY Purchase, scoring 12 against Keuka and a new high of 13 against Hilbert College on Saturday evening. She shot 57.1% from the floor against Hilbert while making 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point arc. Wilcox was a perfect, 6-for-6 from the free-throw line on the week with four of them coming against Keuka. She added three assists against Keuka (one against Hilbert) and managed a steal and a rebound in both contests. Her twin sister, Jamie Wilcox (Forestville, NY/Pine Valley) also set a career-best with 23 points against Hilbert.

Senior Amanda Off (New Berlin, NY/Unadilla Valley) was selected as last week's Empire 8 Player of the Week.

Wilcox and the Saxons will next host Baldwin Wallace University on Wednesday, November 30 at 5:00 pm in the Terry S. Galanis Family Arena.
