North Atlantic Conf.@nacathletics#NACmbb & #NACwbb Athletes of the Week have been released for the week ending January 7! Check http://bit.ly/2EkV7tZ to view the performances and the "Around the NAC" information!

...St. Joseph’s has 13 games left, including an anticipated Jan. 22 nonconference home game against the University of New England.

The Monks have the talent to match or exceed the past two seasons – 24-5 and 23-6 records, both with conference titles and NCAA tournament invitations.

This year’s powerhouse is no surprise, not with four stellar juniors who have been starters or often-used regulars since they were freshmen – 5-foot-6 guard Kelsi McNamara (West Newberry, Massachusetts), the 5-10 Marks, 5-7 guard Julie Champagne (Brunswick) and 5-10 Emily Benway (Rochester, New Hampshire).

“We have a group that’s pretty solid with a lot of experience,” said McNamara, who leads the team with a 17.8 scoring average, 28 3-pointers and 58 assists.
