After a very successful 3-0 week, the College of Staten Island women’s basketball team saw another win yesterday, grabbing a Player of the Week honor from the City University of New York Athletic Conference for sophomore Samantha Flecker. The forward enjoyed a banner week for the Dolphins, who have now won five-straight since starting the season at 1-3.
The Dolphins started things off with an 82-54 win on the road against eight-time defending CUNYAC Champs Baruch College. Flecker bagged six field goals in the game, and added a team-high 13 rebounds to go with her team-best 15 points. Two days later, Flecker logged 34 minutes in a 35-point win over John Jay College, notching 17 points and 10 rebounds for another double-double. She also added four assists and a pair of steals in the game as well.
To conclude her week, Flecker enjoyed another solid outing against non-conference Keystone College on Saturday. In the 80-53 win, Flecker popped in a team high 15 points to go with four boards in 31 minutes. She also added four assists and a pair of blocked shots.
For the season, Flecker is averaging 16.8 points per contest, and her 7.9 rebounds per game leads the unit. She is also fifth on the squad in assists and tied for third on the team in steals.
CSI gets back to action a week from today, when they host William Paterson University for a 7pm, non-conference showdown at the Sports & Recreation Center.
