Women's Basketball adds two transfers

Stony Brook, N.Y. - Stony Brook University head women's basketball coachBeth O'Boyle has announced the addition of two transfers to the program. Sabre Proctor (Harrisburg, Pa.) and Jessica Previlon (Brooklyn, N.Y.) have each signed a grant-in-aid agreement to play for the Seawolves.
Proctor comes to Stony Brook after one season at North Carolina A&T University. Due to NCAA transfer rules, she will have to sit out the 2011-12 season. She will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Previlon played two seasons at Monroe College in Brooklyn for head coach Seth Goodman, leading the Lady Monarchs to the 2011 NJCAA Division II women's basketball national title. She has two years of eligibility remaining beginning with the upcoming season.
A 6-0 forward, Proctor appeared in 20 games for North Carolina A&T last season including three starts. Proctor averaged 18.0 minutes per contest and averaged 7.0 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
"Sabre is an aggressive player who has the ability to create her own offense and is also a strong rebounder," O'Boyle said. "We look forward to working with her during her redshirt year and believe she will have a positive impact on our program."
Proctor was a four-time All-Mid Penn player at Harrisburg High School and earned third team Class 4A All-State honors as a senior after averaging 18.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. She finished her career at Harrisburg with more than 1,600 points and 1,000 rebounds
Previlon led Monroe to a 29-5 record last season, averaging 10.4 points and a team-high 9.0 rebounds per game. The 5-11 forward averaged 13.0 points per game on 67 percent shooting in the Lady Monarchs run to the championship and was named to the All-Tournament team. She had 11 points, nine rebounds and three steals in Monroe's 78-74 win over Pima CC in the title game.
"Jess is an extremely athletic player who will add an intensity and competitiveness to our team," O'Boyle said. "She has an excellent knack for rebounding and her winning mentality will be a great addition to our program." 
 

 

In her first year at Monroe, Previlon led the team in scoring (12.8 ppg.) and rebounding (8.8 rpg). As a senior at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, she averaged 18.5 points and 19.2 rebounds per game and earned first team All-Brooklyn and second team All-City honors
