Reese Ericson Claims Third Straight Patriot League Rookie of the Week Honor
February 06, 2023 | Women's Basketball
BETHELEHEM, PA – Army West Point women's basketball freshman Reese Ericson was named Patriot League Rookie of the Week for the third straight week and fourth time this season, announced today by the league.
Ericson continued her breakout plebe campaign, scoring a game-high 20 points in Army's lone contest of the week versus Bucknell. She collected six rebounds, which marked a career-high while adding two assists. The nine field goals made also marked a career-best effort for the freshman.
A native of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Ericson has caught fire in the second half of the season. She's scored 18+ points in three of four contests including a career-high 24 points against arch-rival Navy. In Patriot League contests, Ericson ranks 12th in the conference in scoring (11.5 PPG) and third in assists (3.4).
Ericson's four Rookie of the Week wins marks the most for an Army player since 2012-13, when Kelsey Minato won the award on eight occasions. She is also the first player to win the award in three consecutive weeks since Loyola's Izzy Therien in 2017-18.
Army will return to action on Wednesday, Feb. 8 to take on Loyola at 7:00 p.m.
