Boston Tabbed MEC Player of the Week

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Senior guard Corey Boston of the Concord University men's basketball team was named Mountain East Conference Player of the Week presented by The Health Plan, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
 
The award is the first Player of the Week nod for Boston in his career at CU.
 
For the week, Boston averaged 18.5 points per game on 56 percent shooting while adding 6.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game. He also reached a new career-high in assists, dishing out 11 against Wheeling along with 15 points for his first career double-double. Boston is the first Mountain Lion since teammate Kollin Tolbert last January to record at least 10 assists in a game.
 
The Lafayette, Ala. native began his week by scoring 22 points on 9-of-12 (75 percent) from the field in Concord's 85-77 road upset over 10^th-rated West Liberty. Boston also chipped in six rebounds and three steals against the Hilltoppers. Then, he followed up with the 15-point, 11-assist double-double against WU that pushed Concord's winning streak to four games.
 
On the season, Boston ranks ninth in the MEC in scoring (16.1), first in steals per game (2.3), and first in free-throw percentage (.909) having made his last 23 attempts from the charity stripe.
