LANCASTER, Pa. – The Atlantic East Conference announced their weekly awards on Monday afternoon and three Neumann University athletics were rewarded with accolades. Men's Basketball swept the week's major awards as TJ Lewis was named the Player of the Week, and Donte Dupriest was named the Defensive Player of the Week. Women's Basketball was represented as well, as Emily DuPont was placed on the weekly Honor Roll.
 
Lewis scored 27 points in a 79-70 come-from-behind win at Immaculata in Neumann's lone game of the week. The senior went 14-for-16 from the line and grabbed six rebounds. After trailing by as many as 12 in the second half, a three-pointer by Lewis in the second half put the Knights in the lead for good. This is his second weekly award of the season, being named to the weekly Honor Roll on November 18^th.
 
Dupriest scored 11 points and grabbed 18 rebounds for a double-double in the win over Immaculata. 10 of his 18 rebounds were offensive. This is the second consecutive week that Dupriest was honored after being named the Atlantic East Player of the Week seven days ago.
 
DuPont scored 19 points as Neumann fell 77-76 to Immaculata in the only game of the week. The senior also had four blocks, three steals and an assist. A jumper by DuPont in the third quarter put the Knights in the lead after coming back from a double-digit deficit. This is her sixth weekly Honor Roll selection of the season, and eighth of her career.
 
Both teams will return to action on Wednesday against Centenary University. While the women will travel to Hackettstown, N.J. for their match-up, the men will host the Cyclones at the Mirenda Center. Both games have a 6:00 PM tip-off.
