Former Nazareth star, IronPigs worker gets player of the week honors

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER I saw Erika Livermore several times last summer working at one of the souvenir stands at Coca-Cola Park during IronPigs games. She also has obviously found time to work on her game. The former Nazareth basketball star (pictured below from her high school career), is now a sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University and has been named the Northeast Conference player of the week. Here's the release: Fairleigh Dickinson women's basketball standout Erika Livermore was named the Choice Hotels Northeast Conference Player of the Week, announced by the league on Monday. The sophomore from Nazareth, Pa. put together back-to-back double-doubles as the Knights scored back-to-back victories over a pair of North Jersey rivals. The 6-foot-1 center averaged 16.5 points and 14.0 rebounds per contest to lead the FDU past NJIT and Saint Peter's. Erika Livermore exploded for a season highs in points (21) and rebounds (17) against NJIT. After shooting 64.3 percent from the field in a 67-58 win over the Highlanders, Livermore continued her impactful play at Saint Peter's three days later. She scored 12 points and secured a game-high 11 rebounds in the 55-50 road win over the Peacocks. Livermore's 12 points were more than any Saint Peter's player scored during the contest. She ranks amongst the NEC's top-10 leaders in both scoring and rebounding. Her 13.9 points per game are ninth, while her 11.0 rebounds per contest are third. The Knights will return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Stony Brook, N.Y. to take on the Seawolves of Stony Brook for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
