BOSTON, Mass. – UMass Lowell men's basketball senior forward Max Brooks (Waldorf, Md.) has been named America East Player of the Week for his performance in a pair of victories for the River Hawks.

Brooks, who had an outstanding, 19-for-20 week at the foul line, averaged 24.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks, while shooting 79% from the field in a 2-0 week. The forward first tallied 20 points with 10 rebounds for his sixth double-double of the year in a win against Binghamton on Feb. 22. In that contest, he also added a season-high five blocks and went a personal-best, 10-for-10 on free throws.

Two days later, Brooks went off again, this time for 29 points on 10-for-11 shooting from the field to surpass 1,000 career points in a hard-fought victory against UAlbany.

Overall, Brooks is averaging 13.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season with 57 blocks so far.
