Green named Player of the Week

Charlotte 49ers sophomore guard Derrio Green has been named A-10 Player of the week for this week. Green scored 26 points in Charlotte's 74-64 win over #15/#15 Temple on Wednesday night and scored 34 in last night's 72-58 win over UMass in Amherst.

Green connected on 8-of-16 3-pointers against UMass, the most by any opponent in the history of the Mullins Center and for the week, totaled 60 points, seven assists and four steals in just two games.

Green propelled the Niners to their third straight A-10 road win and fifth straight overall. ESPN's Andy Katz also named Green as his "Big Man On Campus" for his 34 points on Saturday.

Green and the Niners will look for their sixth consecutive win Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. when they welcome the George Washington Colonials to Halton Arena.
