VESTAL, N.Y. – For the third time this season, redshirt freshman guard Ella Wanzer has been named the America East Rookie of the Week.

Wanzer, who was previously chosen on Nov. 21 and Dec. 5, averaged 24.5 points in a pair of games this past week. After pouring in a career-high and game-high 26 points against NJIT on Jan. 11, she followed up with a team-best 23 points in the Bearcats' win at UMass Lowell on Jan. 14.

For the week, Wanzer shot 16-for-30 (.533) from the field as well as 64 percent (9-of-14) from three-point range. From the free throw line, Wanzer canned eight of her nine attempts (89 percent). In addition, Wanzer averaged 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

Wanzer ranks No. 10 in the America East in scoring (11.4 ppg.) so far this season and is second in both three-point field goal percentage (.416) and three-point field goals per game (2.6). Three times this season, she has reached the 20-point mark in scoring.

This marks the second straight year that Binghamton has had a player post three America East Rookie of the Week honors. Current sophomore forward Genevieve Coleman was chosen three times last season and was later named to the conference's All-Rookie Team.

Wanzer is one of two Binghamton players to have earned America East Rookie of the Week honors this season. Fellow redshirt freshman guard Jadyn Weltz was the pick back on Nov. 14.

Binghamton (10-8, 3-2 AE) hosts first-place Albany on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
