Rexford nabs second Green & Gold athlete award

HERKIMER, NY – Sophomore Emily Rexford was named Green & Gold Female Athlete of the Month for December. Rexford, a Liberal Arts & Sciences: General Studies major at Herkimer College, averaged nine points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.3 steals for the Generals in three games.

A resident of Canton, NY, Rexford scored her second most points in a game against Onondaga, going 6-for-13 from the field, ending the contest with 15 points. It was her second consecutive game with double digits, being held to less than that only once this season in five games.

“Emily joined us after missing the first four games of the season, helping the women’s soccer team to a third place finish at nationals,” said Head Women’s Basketball Coach B.J. Gouger. “We are 3-2 in games that she has played in. She brings a presence to the floor both offensively and defensively, making us better all around.”
