Men's
Alan Aboona
Aboona set a UAA single game record with 10 three-pointers,
including his first nine attempts and the game winner at Emory with
nine seconds left. His nine consecutive makes broke the school
record of seven and helped the Bears salvage a split on the St.
Louis-to-Atlanta-to-Rochester trip.
Danny Brakebush
The freshman forward fueled the Boxers to their first two
conference wins of the season, starting with a season-high 26 point
effort on 9-for-15 shooting at Pacific Lutheran. The next night he
scored 17 points on 6-for-9 shooting in a 69-53 win at Linfield.
Brakebush enters the week ranked fourth in NWC in scoring, second
in three-point percentage and first in free throw percentage.
Tommy Morgan
Morgan has helped Scranton right the ship, including two wins last
week. He tallied 27 points, nine rebounds, six assists and four
steals in the Royals' 84-78 win at Merchant Marine. He added 11
points in Saturday's 78-41 rout of Goucher. The Royals have won six
straight and have a half-game lead on the Gophers and Catholic for
first place.
Ladaria Brown
Ladaria Brown scored 13 points in the Yellowjackets' win over
Louisiana College, but his big game came against Mississippi
College. Brown scored 11 points in the final 62 seconds of
regulation to help LeTourneau erase an 11-point deficit on the road
and send the game to overtime. Brown added four points in extra
time as LeTourneau edged the Choctaws 81-79. The win placed the
YellowJackets, a team slated to finish seventh in the ASC East,
into third place and only one game out of first.
Chima Ezeigbo
Ezeigbo helped Eastern Nazarene post a 3-0 record wins over Salve
Regina, Nichols and Western New England. The senior averaged 18.7
points per game and 11.3 rebounds per contest and registered two
double-doubles. Ezeigbo also added five blocks and six assists on
the week and averaged 33 minutes per game.

Garland helped Southern Maine to a pair of key Little East
Conference wins. First she scored 22 points against Rhode Island
College, including 14-for-15 from the free throw line. Then she
drilled six three-pointers on the road at UMass Dartmouth.
Garland's 23 points paced the Huskies to an 82-61 victory over the
Corsairs.
Jasmine Greene
Greene averaged 25 points and seven rebounds as Hollins went 2-1
with wins over Hood and Washington and Lee. More than that, she
became the program's career leader in steals and scoring. She was
already the program's all-time leader in rebounds and assists.
Elisha Homich
Homich averaged 24.7 points in three Bridgewater State victories
while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor, 50.0 percent from
behind the arc and 94.1 percent at the free throw line. She

victory at Mass-Boston. She capped off the week with 24 point and
five rebounds in the Bears' 63-47 win over Westfield State.
Micaela Moore
Moore put up big numbers in a big week for the Roadrunners who
beat William Paterson and Richard Stockton. Moore tallied 16 points
and eight rebounds in 35 minutes in Ramapo's narrow 66-64 win over
the Pioneers. Then she rolled up 28 points and 11 rebounds,
including 9-for-10 from the field and 10-for-10 from the free throw
line, on the road at Richard Stockton.
Sarah Collins
Collins helped No. 20 Babson remain undefeated in NEWMAC play with
three wins over Coast Guard, MIT and Smith. She averaged 18.3
points and 16.3 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game, starting with a
double-double against the Bears. She closed the week by erupting
for 19 points and a career-high 22 rebounds as the Beavers rallied
to beat conference contender Smith.
