Parsons becomes the second Peahen to claim NEC Rookie of the Week honors, joining Vicky Alaimo who received the honor during the season’s second week. With Alaimo out of the lineup, Parsons stepped up to lead Saint Peter’s to its best showing of the season thus far. Parsons posted the sixth-best individual average (218.8) at the Jeanette Lee Invitational (Dec. 6-7) in helping the Peahens tally a 9-2 record on the weekend. The New Jersey native accumulated a total pinfall of 1313 over six traditional team games, including a high game of 268 that carried the Peahens to a victory over Livingstone. The rookie reached the 200-pin plateau in five games, including three performances in excess of 230.
