CENTERVILLE, Mass. – Hilbert College men’s basketball player Sean Kenney was named the East Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Men’s Basketball Player of the Week in the Southern Region for the week of January 17-23.

 

Kenney averaged 25.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game while shooting 57% (26-46) from the field as the Hawks (6-9 overall, 4-4 AMCC) had a 3-0 week in conference play.  The senior forward led the Hawks with a double-double (25 pts., 10 rebs.) in a win at home over Pitt-Bradford, then followed up with a career-high 32 points, including 5 three-pointers, in a victory on the road against Mt. Aloysius.
