West Point, NY- Army Black Knights senior guard Reese Ericson has earned recognition as the Patriot League Women’s Basketball Player of the Week following an explosive offensive stretch that highlighted her as one of the most dangerous perimeter shooters in the country. The honor, announced Monday, reflects her game-changing impact in recent Army West Point basketball victories.
Hailing from Lake Oswego, Oregon, Ericson played a pivotal role in Army’s consecutive victories over Boston University and American University last week. She averaged 20 points per game during that stretch, putting on a shooting clinic from beyond the arc. Ericson posted a 59.1% field goal percentage overall and an eye-popping 68.4% from three, with all 13 of her made baskets coming from behind the arc. Her performance further cemented her status as one of college basketball’s most prolific three-point shooters in the 2025–26 season.

The Road to the Top Spot Nationally
Across her previous three games, Ericson has hit 19 of 34 shots from three-point territory, underscoring her as one of the country’s elite sharpshooters.
