Swink pushed St. Francis (PA) to nine straight wins, including victories against the third, fourth and fifth-place teams in the NEC, averaging 22.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in the three games last week. The senior, who was recently named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Region Team, shot 54.5 percent (24-44) from the field and 95.2 percent (20-21) from the free-throw line. The reigning Valley National Bank NEC Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Year poured in 27 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals against Monmouth, while shooting 10-of-12 from the field and 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. At Sacred Heart, the 6-2 center again elevated her game, adding 24 points, three rebounds, four assists and one steal. Swink also connected on 10-of-10 of her free-throw attempts. On Sunday, at Robert Morris, the 12-time career Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week winner recorded 17 points, seven rebounds, two assists and a block, while shooting 7-of-13 from the floor and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line. The NEC’s leading scorer at 22.3 points per game needs only three more points to become the second player in league history to reach 2,000 for her career. St. Francis (PA)’s Jess Zinoble (1996-00) is the all-time NEC leader with 2,338.
