CCSU at St. Francis Brooklyn, 4 pm Sr., G/F, Allentown, PA/Mineral Area College Bryant at FDU, 4:30 pm Kohl has now made history by collecting his single-season league record sixth NEC Player of the Week Robert Morris at Saint Francis U, 7 pm accolade following two more superb all-around performances on CCSU’s swing through western Pennsylvania. He averaged 29.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 3.5 steals, and shot 40.0 percent from long range in a Blue Devils split. Kohl did all he could to help CCSU try and overcome a 21-point deficit in the final 10 minutes of a 90-85 setback at SFU, and in the process, became the only player in the nation this season to rack up 35 points, five rebounds, seven assists and four steals in a game. Two days later, he poured in 23 more points, and added seven boards, five assists and three steals as the Blue Devils knocked off first place Robert Morris, 77-68. The Allentown, PA native now ranks second in the NEC in scoring (18.6), third in assists (4.8), fourth in rebounding (7.2) and sixth in steals (1.5). He leads CCSU in all four categories. NEC MEN’S BASKETBALL ROOKIE OF THE WEEK Vado Morse, Mount St. Mary’s 6’0”, 155 lbs.

He contributed across the board, finishing with 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in a 1-1 week for the Mount. After pitching in with eight points, six assists and a pair of steals in a loss at LIU Brooklyn on Thursday, Morse exploded for 23 points, seven rebounds and five dimes while hitting 9-16 shots from the floor as the Mountaineers handed Sacred Heart its first home conference loss with a 76-73 win at the Pitt Center. His 20-footer with 1:16 to play gave the Mount a five-point lead and helped hold off a late SHU rally. Morse paces all NEC freshman and ranks 12th overall with 14.0 ppg. The Mount has earned NEC Rookie accolades in 9-of-14 weeks this season, while Morse’s five honors ranks 10th on the league’s all-time list.
