Keith Brown, Matt McDevitt Sweep CCC Weekly Awards

CCC WEEKLY RELEASE 

BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott student-athletes Keith Brown (Pelham, N.H.) and Matt McDevitt (Cumberland, Maine) have both earned weekly awards from the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC). Brown was named the CCC Player of the Week, while McDevitt claimed CCC Rookie of the Week accolades for their performances against Regis and No. 7 Babson last weekend. Each honor is the first of their respective careers.

Brown averaged 41.5 points per game in a 2-0 week for Endicott, which included wins over Regis (75-70) and No. 7 Babson (90-80), the defending NCAA Division III national champion, in the Babson Invitational. In the Gulls' victory over Babson in the championship game, Brown poured in a career-high 45 points on 15-for-25 shooting from the field. Brown's 45-point effort ranks second all-time on the single-game scoring list, while his 10 3-pointers tied his previous record that he set against Regis the day before, which ended up resulting in a 38-point day. Brown's 45-point game also fell two points shy of tying the program record. Overall, Brown shot 54.9% from the floor (28-51), 58.8% from beyond the arc (20-34), and 100% at the free throw line (7-7). 

Meanwhile, McDevitt compiled 17 points, six rebounds, and four assists – all career-highs  – against No. 7 Babson and also added five points, six rebounds, and two assists in the Gulls' victory over Regis. On the week, McDevitt 11.0 points per game, 6.0 rebounds per game, a 41.2 field goal percentage, a 38.5 three-point field goal percentage, and a 60.0 free throw percentage.
