Watkins Earns AE Honors

Binghamton Bearcat Imani Watkins has been named the America East's Player of the Week in women's basketball.  Watkins has been on fire and averaged 25.5 points per game in two contests last week.

The Bearcats' sharp-shooting guard hit for 26 points against the Penn Quakers and then dropped in 25 points in her outing against Providence.  She is averaging 22 points per game so far this season, 28th in the nation among Division I athletes.

For Watkins this week's honor was her first Player of the Week award.  She was named Rookie of the Week in the America East on three different occasions last season.

Watkins will lead her Bearcats into action on Wednesday at 2 PM at the Events Center as they host Sacred Heart. Air for the game is set for ESPN 1360 AM WYOS at 1:45 PM.
