NEW YORK – Senior guard Malcolm Newman has been named to the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) Division II/III Weekly Honor.
 
Newman hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 4.2 seconds left to cap an 84-82 come-from-behind victory for the conference-leading Rangers over Wilkes in which the team erased a 16-point deficit. He shot 4-for-7 from beyond the arc for the game and finished with a season-high 19 points to go with three steals. Newman also scored 12 points in Drew's 93-68 win over Juniata. For the week, he averaged 15.5 points per game while shooting 50.0% (10-20) from the field, 50.0% (6-12) from 3-point range, and 71.4% (5-7) at the foul line.
 
On the season, Newman ranks third on the team in scoring (11.9 ppg) and is tied for the team lead and third in the Landmark Conference in steals (1.9 spg).
 
The MBWA media panel selects one men's and one women's player of the week and an honor roll from nominations received for Division I schools, plus one men's and one women's player of the week and an honor roll from nominations received for Division II and III schools combined. The Division II/III designation encompasses players from 45 Met area schools.
 
The Rangers (12-3, 8-0 LC), who are off to their best Landmark Conference start in team history and received votes in the latest D3hooops.com Top-25 poll, return to action on Wednesday, when they visit Elizabethtown College at 7 p.m. in a Landmark matchup.
