Goldey-Beacom saw three of its student-athletes take home weekly awards from the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference with freshman Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) named the Men's Basketball Rookie of the Week, junior Shakeem Wilson (Brooklyn, NY) picked to the Weekly Honor Roll and sophomore Britani Bryson (Hampton, VA) named to the Women's Basketball Weekly Honor Roll.

Taite amassed 19 points, four assists, three steals, two rebounds and shot 7-for-8 from the foul line New Year's Eve in Goldey-Beacom's 70-53 victory over Lincoln (PA).

In his impressive debut campaign, Taite is 53rd in the country with 2.0 steals per game, 28th with 26 total steals, 18th in the league with 13.8 points per game, seventh with a .400 three-point percentage, 17th with 2.8 assists per game, 13th with 3.5 free throws per contest and 16th with a .742 free throw percentage.

Wilson closed with 22 points, nine rebounds, an assist, a block, a steal and shot 9-for-12 from the foul line on New Year's Eve.

Wilson has made himself a very tough player to take off the court. He is 13th in the country with 83 made free throws, 64th with 238 points, tied for fourth with 17.0 points per game and third with a .426 three-point percentage. Wilson's 83 free throws are just 17 shy of placing him on the school's single-season top 10 list.

Bryson averaged 13.5 points and 12.5 rebounds to go with three steals and two blocks over two games. She went on a tear New Year's Eve against Millersville, closing with 19 points and 16 rebounds to go with shooting 11-for-14 from the line. Bryson also had eight points and nine rebounds Sunday vs. Saint Rose.

Bryson has made herself one of the league's dominant presences. She is third in the country with 158 rebounds, 27th with 10.5 rebounds per game, 27th with 4.0 offensive rebounds per contest, 27th with 82 baskets, tied for 22nd with six double-doubles and 50th with 20 blocks.
