WALTHAM, Mass. – After leading the undefeated Falcons to a pair of conference wins, Bentley University junior forward Jen Gemma (Milton/Fontbonne Academy) has been named the Spalding Women's Basketball Player of the Week in the Northeast-10 Conference.

Gemma amassed 39 points and 16 rebounds in 52 minutes of play during the week, with averages of 19.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists. She shot 68 percent overall (15-22) and made eight of nine free throws.

The six-footer had 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting, along with 12 rebounds, at Merrimack (68-60), 17 points in only 21 minutes against Franklin Pierce (60-39) and two assists in both contests. Bentley was a +23 in the two wins with her on the court and a +6 in the 28 minutes she was off.

Through four games, Gemma is averaging 17.8 points, nine rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 blocks with a .600 field goal percentage. The 2015 first-team All-Conference selection is currently third in the NE-10 in field goal percentage, fourth in scoring and blocks, and fifth in rebounding. No one in the conference has more defensive rebounds so far this season.

Last year, Gemma received Player of the Week honors four times while posting season averages of 19.5 points and 10.2 rebounds.

Next up for the Falcons is a Tuesday night encounter at Assumption College in a battle of 4-0 teams.
