GANSEVOORT, N.Y. – The North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) has announced its Student-Athlete of the Week selections in the sports of men’s and women’s basketball and men’s and women’s swimming & diving for the period ending December 2, 2012.

Jailaan Kinsey (Syracuse, N.Y.) has been chosen as the NEAC Men’s Basketball Student-Athlete of the Week after his strong play for the Morrisville State College Mustangs.  The junior guard led the Mustangs to two victories on the week with his long-range shooting, as he went 4-of-6 from the 3-point line and finished with 16 points, four assists and a steal in a 94-90 victory over Keystone College last Tuesday, while hitting three more shots from beyond the arc and finishing with a team-best 13 points in just 19 minutes of action during Thursday’s victory over SUNY ESF.  Kinsey finished the week with totals of eight 3-pointers and 34 points during a 2-1 week for the Mustangs, who are now 3-3 overall on the year.  

Aubrey Folger (South Berwick, Maine) and Ashley Roser (Taberg, N.Y.) have both been selected as Co-NEAC Women’s Basketball Student-Athletes of the Week.

Folger had an outstanding week for the Lancaster Bible College Chargers, as the freshman guard led her squad to a perfect 2-0 week, averaging 15 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per contests while shooting 62 percent (13-of-21) from the field.  Folger opened the week with a team- and season-best 19 points in addition to eight rebounds, four steals and three blocks in an 81-73 victory over Rosemont College Tuesday, and followed that up with her first collegiate double-double after scoring 11 points and grabbing 11 boards in a 61-47 victory over Trinity (D.C.) College, where she also had three steals.  Folger is now averaging 12.2 points and 10 rebounds per game for the Chargers, who have opened the year with a perfect 3-0 overall record thus far.

 

Roser earned the honor after achieving a milestone for the Wells College Express, as she was the first player in the history of the women’s program and just the second-ever Wells basketball player to reach the 1,000 career point mark, doing so just four games into her junior year.   Roser hit the mark on a layup with 14:28 remaining in the second half during the team’s nonconference contest against Alfred Wednesday, where she finished with game highs of 29 points, 20 rebounds, three blocks and three steals.  Roser went on to have a tremendous week on top of that, posting three-game averages of 21.3 points, 16.3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.7 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, despite Wells dropping all three contests. Roser is now tied for the conference lead in points per game at 21.3, while being the sole leader of rebounds at a whopping 18 per game, thanks to recording a double-double in all six of her contests this season, including two 20-20 performances.

 

Patrick Munroe (Williamsville, N.Y.) has been named the NEAC Men’s Swimming & Diving Student-Athlete of the Week after a terrific performance for the Wells College Express.  The freshman led the Express to a 65-34 victory over Gallaudet University and a tie with SUNY Cobleskill in conference action during Cobleskill’s triangular meet this past Saturday, as he earned three first-place finishes.  Munroe set two personal-best times on the day, as he won the 200-yard individual medley in 2:20.54, which was also the fourth-best result in program history for that event, and also captured first place in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 1:02.33, which was the sixth-fastest time in program history for that competition. Monroe also helped Wells to a first-place finish in the 200-yard medley team relay with a combined time of 1:55.93.

 

Hilary Feudale (Coal Township, Pa.) has been chosen as the NEAC Women’s Swimming & Diving Student-Athlete of the Week after another outstanding performance for the Wells College Express.  The freshman led the Express to a pair of victories over NEAC rivals SUNY Cobleskill and Gallaudet University with a total of three first-place finishes at SUNY Cobleskill’s triangular meet this past Saturday.  Individually, Feudale won the 50-yard freestyle (0:27.69) and the 100-yard backstroke (1:08.35) on the day, while also being a part of the winning 200-yard medley relay team that took first place with a time of 2:07.92, which was nearly 20 seconds ahead of the second place finisher.  Feudale has now captured first place in nine of her last 10 events, while placing second in the lone outlying event.  Wells defeated SUNY Cobleskill 53-42 and Gallaudet 61-34 on the day.
