Thayne and Meacham Earn NAC Weekly Honors

WATERVILLE, MAINE — The North Atlantic Conference (NAC) has once again recognized the outstanding efforts of two Fighting Tigers, naming senior center Logan Thayne (Hoosick Falls, NY) the NAC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the fourth consecutive week and senior guard Taylor Meacham (Berne, NY/BKW) the NAC Women’s Basketball Defensive Player of the Week.

Thayne continued her dominant form, extending her double-double streak to eight games while leading Cobleskill to a perfect 2-0 record over the break with decisive victories over SUNY Oneonta (67-44) and Union College (74-55). Against Oneonta, she posted 17 points, 10 rebounds (5 offensive, 5 defensive), one steal, and one assist, shooting 40% from the field and a perfect 8-for-8 at the free throw line. In the win over Union, Thayne added 14 points, 12 rebounds, one block, one steal, and one assist. For the week, she averaged 15.5 points, 11 rebounds, 1.0 assist, and 1.0 steal while converting an impressive 91.6% of her free throws.

Meacham’s defensive leadership was pivotal in Cobleskill’s success, helping limit opponents to just 49.5 points per game and 28.75% shooting from the field. Against Oneonta, she tallied nine rebounds, two steals, and consistently disrupted passing lanes, forcing turnovers and altering shots. She also contributed 17 points and two assists on 6-of-11 shooting. Meacham followed that performance with two blocks, two defensive rebounds, five assists, and 12 points in the win over Union, continuing to stifle opponents with her relentless defense.

The Fighting Tigers return to action on Tuesday, December 3, hosting SUNY Delhi at 5:30 p.m. in their NAC season opener at the Iorio Gymnasium.
