Canton, NY – Joelle Percy (Black River, NY) of the women's basketball team and J.R. Lafferty (Williamstown, NJ) of the men's hockey team earn this week's Roo of the Week accolades, as announced on Monday.

Percy averaged 17 points and 6.5 rebounds in a 1-1 week for the women's basketball team. The senior led the Roos in scoring in both contests. She finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and four steals as the Roos dropped a tight, 51-45 contest on the road at Albany College of Pharmacy. She followed that up with 18 points and six rebounds as she went 6-for-11 from three-point range in a 65-62 victory over Bard on Sunday.

The women's basketball team is back in action this weekend as it hosts a pair of contests at the Roos House. The Roos will square off with Houghton College at 6:00 p.m. on Friday before a 6:00 p.m. tilt Saturday with Clarkson University.

Lafferty had a huge week for the men's hockey team recording a goal and three assists as the team split a pair of road contests. The junior assisted two of the three SUNY Canton goals in a 6-3 loss to Western New England University on Friday. He followed that up with a strong performance as the Roos picked up a 5-2 victory against Becker College on Saturday. The Williamstown, NJ native assisted Zach Paisley's game-winning goal 1:33 into the third period and two minutes later added an important insurance score of his own.

The men's hockey team has nearly a month off until its next contest. The Roos will travel to New London, CT on January 4th to take on Connecticut College at 7:00 p.m.
