GENEVA, N.Y.—William Smith sophomore forward Stephanie Czajkowski (Bishop Ludden/Syracuse, N.Y.) was named the Liberty League Women’s Basketball Forward of the Week by the conference office this afternoon. It is the second time in a row and third time this season she has earned the weekly honor.
Czajkowski averaged 14.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in a 2-0 weekend for the Herons. At Rensselaer on Friday, she scored 16 points and pulled down six rebounds as William Smith topped the Red Hawks 63-50. The following afternoon at Vassar, Czajkowski posted her third double-double of the season, recording 12 points and a game-high 10 rebounds in a 66-57 win over the Brewers.
For the season, Czajkowski leads the conference in field goal percentage (.495) and ranks in the top-15 in rebounding (8th, 6.6 rpg), scoring (13th, 10.2 ppg), and steals (15th, 1.62 spg). During Liberty League play, she is averaging 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals.
Riding a seven-game win streak, William Smith is 17-4 overall, 10-1 in the Liberty League. The Herons will close out the home portion of their regular season schedule on Feb. 14, when Hamilton College visits Bristol Gym. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Prior to the start of the game, William Smith will honor the team’s three seniors: forward Seraphine Hamilton (The Peddie School/Trenton, N.J.), forward Tanya Richvalsky (Mohawk/Mohawk, N.Y.), and guard Pria Young (Council Rock/Richboro, Pa.).
