UMass Lowell Athletics

Redshirt-junior guard Christian Lutete (Silver Spring, Md.) was named River Hawk of the Week on Tuesday, as announced by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications office.
 
Lutete averaged a team-high 19.0 points and 7.0 rebounds in a 1-1 week for the River Hawks, including a strong, 94-71 victory against NJIT on December 1.
 
In the NJIT game, Lutete put together an explosive second half en route to a career-high 28 points. With 25 of those points coming in the second, he set a new Division I best for points in a half for the program. The guard shot 69 percent (9-13) from the field in that contest, while going a perfect, 6-for-6 at the foul line. He also led the team on the boards in that outing with nine.
 
Earlier in the week at Connecticut on November 27, Lutete logged 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting with five rebounds.
 
The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen in voting by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications staff. It honors the top athlete, male or female, based on performance during the previous week of competition.
