NORTH ADAMS, Mass.— Senior guard Quentin Gittens (Pittsfield, Mass. / Taconic High School) has been named the MASCAC Player of the Week for the third time in four weeks. Westfield State's Juju Omot (Springfield, Mass. / Springfield Central) was named the Rookie of the Week.

Posted a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds, adding six assists, two blocks, and a steal in a 73-72 road victory at Salem State, where he sank a pair of free throws in the final seconds to secure the win. Followed that up with a career-high 36-point performance in a 67-59 at Framingham State, adding five rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and a steal, leading the Trailblazers to the conference win.
