EASTON, Mass. (Dec. 22, 2025) -- Junior guard Brooke Paquette of the Stonehill women's basketball team has been honored as the NEC Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.

Paquette, a team captain from Hudson, N.H., averaged 17.5 points and 10 rebounds in two games for the Skyhawks at the Hatter Classic. She was also 12-of-13 from the foul line (.923) over the weekend, playing in over a total of 75 minutes in the two games. In Stonehill's 74-68 win over Bethune-Cookman, Paquette scored 18 points and added five rebounds, while playing all 40 minutes. Against Stetson, Paquette recorded the first double-double of her career, netting 17 points, to go along with a career-high 13 rebounds. She was also a perfect 9-of-9 from the foul line against the Hatters.

Paquette was also selected as an NEC Prime Performer, joining freshman guard Ella Pelletier and sophomore forward Julia Webster with the weekly nods. Paquette has garnered NEC Prime Performer accolades four times this season. Pelletier was also chosen as the NEC Rookie of the Week, as the Skyhawks swept the major conference awards this week.

Stonehill will travel to Nashville, Tenn., to take on No. 13/11 Vanderbilt Sunday, Dec. 28 at 2 p.m. CST.
