For the second time in three weeks, Katelyn Hepworth is the CUNY Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week. Hepworth recorded double-doubles in each game this week, as the College of Staten Island (2-4; 1-1 CUNYAC) beat City Tech 72-30 before losing a close 76-64 decision to Brooklyn College.
Against City Tech, Hepworth helped the Dolphins to a conference win with 13 points, by converting six of her seven shot attempts. She added 10 rebounds and three steals to round out her evening. Against Brooklyn, Hepworth contributed 14 points and 12 rebounds, but it was not enough.
The Dolphins are now 1-1 in the CUNY Athletic Conference South Division, tied with Medgar Evers and one game off the pace, set by Brooklyn.
CSI is in the midst of a four-game home stand, and will host Drew University on Wednesday night in a game broadcast locally on Staten Island Cable. Rutgers-Camden then heads to Staten Island on Saturday.
