JACKSON, Miss. - Hayle Poindexter of the Belhaven Women's Basketball team and Jacob Reese of the Belhaven Men's Basketball team have been named the C Spire Athletes of the Week for their performances in competition from the past week.

Poindexter led the Blazers to an important win in their Collegiate Conference of the South opener on Thursday, December 14th taking down Wesleyan 84-50. Poindexter registered a game-high 24 points which also doubled as Poindexter's career-high. To go along with her 12-18 day from the field, Poindexter pulled down seven boards. Earlier in the week, Poindexter narrowly missed out on a double-double scoring eight points while pulling down 10 rebounds and blocking three shots in a close loss to Birmingham-Southern.

Reese helped the Blazers to a 2-1 week that saw Belhaven pick up an overtime win over Birmingham-Southern and a close victory over Averett. Against Birmingham-Southern, Reese tallied 26 points and pulled down 15 rebounds as he continues to rack up double-doubles on the year. He then posted a 12 point, 10 rebound in Belhaven's win over Averett in the Virginia Wesleyan Christmas Classic. Reese is up to 11.1 points per game and 11.4 rebounds per game on the season and has six double-doubles in the first 10 games of the year.
