CAA PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Jeremiah Johnson, Campbell
Sophomore | Guard | Del City, Okla.
Johnson torched his former team with a career-high 27 points to help Campbell rout Green Bay, 102-79. He was efficient all day, shooting 9-of-14 from the floor with a 3-for-5 showing from distance and a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. Johnson also came away with a career-best three steals. The sophomore guard was hot early, registering 15 points in the first half and connecting on a trio of treys to give Campbell a seven-point cushion through 20 minutes of action. He got to the rim easily in the second half, going 5-of-6 from inside the arc before posting 12 points in the final frame. His 27 points eclipsed his previous best of 21 points, a mark he notched while playing for Green Bay last year.
CAA ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Xander Alarie, Northeastern
Redshirt Freshman | Forward | Bethesda, Md.
Alarie helped the Huskies put forth a valiant effort against Rhode Island prior to the holiday break, posting 12 points and eight rebounds in a setback to the Rams. The Bethesda, Md., product pulled down three of his eight boards on the offensive glass. The redshirt freshman also knocked down six of his 12 points from the charity stripe. Johnson also registered one block in the Huskies’ lone game last week.
