Causey Nabs NECC Rookie Honors
MANSFIELD, Mass. -- Mitchell College freshman Wilton Causey was named New England Collegiate Conference Rookie of the Week for the sport of men's basketball, as announced by the league on Monday morning.
Causey, a mid-semester transfer, averaged 11.7 points and 3.0 rebounds per game last week as the Mariners went 2-1 overall. He becomes the third Mitchell newcomer to earn the weekly honor this season, joining Dontae Pollard (Dec. 20) and Robert Zirlis (Jan. 24, 31).
Causey came off the bench to give Mitchell a scoring boost in wins over Eastern Nazarene College and Lesley University, finishing with 13 and 16 points, respectively. The rookie forward also had six points at New England College, and he shot 61 percent from the floor for the week.
Mitchell (11-9 overall, 1-1 NECC) will next host Eastern Nazarene on Wednesday, February 9 at 6 p.m.
