Alyssa James of the women's basketball team is this week's Wells Fargo Advisors Binghamton Athlete of the Week.


James averaged 11.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, 2.0 assists and 3.5 steals in leading Binghamton to a 2-0 week in conference play. Against UMBC on Jan. 4, she played the entire 40 minutes and finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, a season-high six blocks and four steals in the Bearcats' 69-62 victory. Although James wasn't the primary offensive option in Binghamton's 58-48 win over UMass Lowell on Jan. 7, she was the defensive standout, finishing with nine rebounds, three blocks and three steals to go along with five points and a pair of rebounds. 


For the season, James ranks in the top five of the conference in rebounds, blocks and steals.
