Rookie of the Week

Nico Clareth – Siena College, Fr., Guard, Baltimore, Md.

Clareth averaged 20 points, five rebounds, three assists and 1.5 steals in 30.5 minutes played as Siena pulled within a half game of second place in a 2-0 week for the Saints. Clareth shot 62 percent from the field and 46 percent from three-point range in the two games and made 5-6 free throws. Clareth scored a game-high 22 points in the blowout win over Canisius, and was right in the middle of all the key Siena runs. He followed that effort up with 20 points and seven rebounds in the Saints’ huge comeback win at Iona
