2017 Jan 17

Heather Hebert of the Oswego State women's basketball team was named State University of New York Athletic Conference women's basketball Athlete of the Week for the week ending Jan. 15, 2017.

Beginning with a midweek game against Cazenovia College on Tuesday afternoon, Hebert notched 16 points on an incredibly efficient 77.8 percent (7-of-9) shooting from the field. The Lakers won the game by a score of 63-35, surrendering the fewest points to an opposing team since 2013 when they allowed 34 in a win (47-34) against Cortland.

During a couple of games during the weekend against Plattsburgh and Potsdam, Hebert recorded two double-doubles. On Friday the senior tallied 18 points - on another efficient night from the field -making 8-of-13 attempted shots (61.5%). Hebert nearly matched her scoring output on the glass, as she cleared 15 boards, including five of the offensive variety.

Against Potsdam, the Hilton, N.Y. native notched her highest scoring output of the week with 21 points. Hebert brought her efficiency to the charity stripe during this contest, nailing four of six shots she took.

Meanwhile, she also collected 14 caroms. Women's basketball returns to action on the road as they make the trip to New Paltz for a contest at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
