McCOMBS NAMED ECAC DIVISION III NEW ENGLAND PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Salem State men's basketball senior forward Brandon McCombs (Springfield, MA) was named the ECAC Division III New England Player of the Week on Monday, January 22.

McCombs, a First Team All-Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference (MASCAC) selection last season, posted three straight double-doubles in helping lead the Vikings to three wins last week which extended their current win streak to five.

McCombs began the week by posting 18 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks in a 75-59 win over Westfield State. In a 68-62 non-conference win at Emmanuel, McCombs recorded 13 points and a season-high 17 rebounds. He also registered a pair of blocks, dished out two assists and made four steals against the Saints.

In Saturday's 115-96 win over Framingham State, McCombs scored a season-high 27 and pulled down a game-high 12 caroms versus the Rams.
