GNAC RELEASE
WINTHROP, Mass. – For the second straight week, Albertus Magnus College men's basketball senior forward Justice Washington (Hamden, Conn.) was named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Player of the Week after he helped the Falcons go a perfect 3-0 in GNAC play last week.

Washington was outstanding in the Falcons' three games last week, averaging 12.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 4.3 blocks with a pair of double-doubles for Albertus in a 3-0 week. He shot a stellar 60.9% (14-for-23) overall from the floor and 72.7% (8-for-11) from the FT line while playing just 25.0 minutes per contest. The reigning GNAC Player of the Week opened the week with a near triple-double, registering 14 points, 12 rebounds, and eight blocks against Colby-Sawyer College before tallying 10 points, 10 boards, and five more swats against Regis (Mass.) College. He closed the week with 12 points and nine boards at Anna Maria College, helping the Falcons secure three-straight 25-plus point wins in GNAC play.

Washington's stats this season rank well nationally, as he sits fourth in all of Division III in blocks per game (3.27) and 14th in total blocks (36). He also paces the GNAC with a 70.0% field-goal percentage.

The Albertus Magnus men's basketball team returns to the court on Wednesday, Jan. 11, for a 7:30 p.m. home clash against No. 1 nationally-ranked University of Saint Joseph (Conn.) located inside "The Nest".
