Two Dukes Win A-10 Weekly Honors
For for the time in nine years, the Duquesne basketball team has a Player and Rookie of the Week in the same week.
Today, the Atlantic 10 announced that sophomore forward Eric Williams and freshman guard Sincere Carry were named conference Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week respectively. Back in 2009, Aaron Jackson and Eric Evans both won the awards for the Dukes.
