BOSTON, Mass. – For the fourth time in only seven weeks, the River Hawks have swept the America East Men's Basketball Weekly Awards, as UMass Lowell fifth year Max Brooks (Waldorf, Md.) was tabbed the Player of the Week and freshman Martin Somerville (Bowie, Md.) was named Rookie of the Week by the conference on Monday morning.
 
Somerville once again proved to be a spark off the bench for the River Hawks, chipping in with 16.5 points and 3.5 assists in the team's two wins. Against the Skyhawks, the rookie posted 11 points and three assists, before following up with a game-high 22 points to earn the win over Boston University. The guard has now earned Rookie of the Week honors in six of the first seven weeks of the 2024-25 season.
 
Somerville has also been named River Hawk of the Week for his efforts. 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.
