WHITE PLAINS, NY – College of Mount Saint Vincent junior Nick DiMaggio (Croton, NY) has been named to the Week Two PrestoSports/MBWA Honor Roll it was announced Monday evening. The Dolphins have had a player named to the honor roll in each of the first two weeks of voting.

DiMaggio had a strong outing in Mount Saint Vincent’s only game last week. In a home game against St. Joseph’s-LI DiMaggio poured in 28 points to go along with seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. DiMaggio netted a career-high seven three pointers in the contest as he went 7-11 from long range and 9-23 from the field overall. He was also a perfect 3-3 from the line on his way to a season-high point total.

Celebrating its fifth season, the Player of the Week Award is granted on a weekly basis by the New York Area Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association. Each week, each of the nearly 75 schools that play college basketball in the Tri-state area have the ability to nominate one male and one female student-athlete, based upon their on-court accomplishments over the previous seven days. An esteemed panel of media members votes to select the winners from the nominations. All players who receive votes, but are not named the Player of the Week, are then named to the Honor Roll.

DiMaggio and the Dolphins will be back in action again on Wednesday night for a Skyline road contest at Yeshiva. Tip-Off with the Maccabees is scheduled for 8:00 p.m.
