BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Junior guard
Kollin Tolbert of the Concord University men's basketball team has been voted as the Mountain East Conference Player of the Week, presented by The Health Plan, the league office released Monday afternoon.
Tolbert, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, is the MEC Player of the Week after a two-game stretch of averaging 30 points per game. Against Charleston and Glenville State, he added 8.5 rebounds and four assists per contest while shooting 64.5 percent (20-for-31) from the field, 69.2 percent (9-for-13) from three-point range and 78.5 percent (11-for-14) from the free-throw stripe.
Tolbert started the week by pouring in 41 points, on 15-for-21 shooting, to go with eight rebounds versus Charleston. Included in Tolbert's performance was a 7-of-10 showing from three-point distance which was a season high in three-point makes for any Mountain Lion this winter.
At Glenville State, Tolbert nearly tallied his first double-double of the season as he netted 19 points to go with nine and six assists. He was 5-of-10 from the floor and 7-of-9 at the foul line in Concord's 92-85 victory.
Monday's announcement was the second time this season that Tolbert has been selected the MEC Player of the Week—he earned the award in late November after a 58-point game at Charleston. Additionally, it was the second consecutive week that Concord took MEC Player of the Week after senior guard
Corey Boston earned league honors last Monday.
