Duncan Dons NE-10 Player of the Week

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Averaging 30.0 points over a pair of wins for the Merrimack men’s basketball team this past week, senior captain Darren Duncan (Briarwood, NY) was named the Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Week, it was announced on Monday.

"This is a very well-deserved honor for Darren," said head coach Bert Hammel. "He's distinguished himself as a truly talented point guard with the assists, but the really good [point guards] can score as he has. Darren has also performed incredibly well while keeping the team's goals ahead of his own."

In the team’s most recent win over Adelphi, Duncan tallied his second 30-point outing of the season with a game-high 31 points, including 5-of-7 from three-point range. With eight assists on the afternoon, Duncan also moved into 13th all-time among NCAA Division II assist leaders with 727, four shy of Pat Delaney (Saint Anselm ’03) at 12th. Duncan also matched a season-high with 10 field goals made.

In the process of knocking off Adelphi, 82-74, Merrimack and head coach Bert Hammel reached a 30-year best 10-game win streak. The all-time program record is 13, which was set in 1977-78 when Frank T. Monahan led the Warriors to a 23-6 record and 13 consecutive regular season games.

Earlier in the week, Duncan rose to the occasion against Le Moyne College and reigning Northeast-10 Player of the Year, Laurence Ekperigin, with 29 points and a career-high seven three-pointers on only ten attempts. Improving to 5-1 on the road in Conference play in Syracuse, the Warriors knocked off the Dolphins, 83-68.

At Merrimack, Duncan is currently the 7th all-time scorer in Merrimack men’s basketball history (1,745), needing only one point to pass Dana Skinner ’78 and 30 to reach the top five and surpass fellow Bob Cousy Award finalist, Roger Damphousse ’62.

In the Northeast-10 Conference, Duncan is scoring 18.2 points per game and ranks atop the league in steals per game (2.9), assists per game (7.6) and ranks fourth in three-point percentage (.434).

Duncan and the Warriors return to action in search of an 11th straight regular season win when they host Saint Rose on Wednesday evening (7:30pm) at the Volpe Gym.
