Stony Brook, N.Y. - Freshman Jessica Smith was named the Wilson Rookie of the Week, as announced by the America East Monday afternoon.

Smith averaged 17.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists while connecting on 75.0 percent of her free throws (12-of-16). The 6-0 low-post threat started off the week with 11 points and a game-high nine rebounds in a victory over Northeastern. Against UMBC, she poured in a career and game-high 23 points to go along with 14 boards and four assists while shooting 11-of-13 from the free throw line.

The Seawolves have captured the award two straight times, as Mykeema Ford picked up the accolade last week.

Stony Brook has won two straight for the first time this season.

Albany's Danielle Hutcheson joined Smith with league honors, as she was named the Wilson Player of the Week.
