SOMERSET, N.J. – Merrimack College men's basketball guard Adam "Budd" Clark was named Northeast Conference Rookie of the Week for the seventh time this season as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon.
Clark wrapped his regular season in style by collecting his seventh NEC Rookie of the Week honor, just one shy of the all-time record. He tallied 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals per game, and shot 50.0 percent from the field in a split for the Warriors, who earned a share of their third NEC regular season title in five years and finished the year 13-3 in conference play. Clark logged 21 points, five rebounds, three assists and four steals to help Merrimack to a 74-55 win at FDU on Thursday. He added 11 points and three dimes in Saturday's 89-85 setback at SHU. Clark, who hails from Philadelphia, is the NEC leader and ranks eighth nationally with 2.6 spg. He paces all NEC freshmen with 13.1 ppg and his 3.9 apg is the third-best mark on the circuit.
The Warriors will take on Long Island University on Wednesday night in Lawler Arena for the first round of the NEC Tournament. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
