Rookie of the Week
Mikey Dixon, Quinnipiac
Fr., 6-2, G, New Castle, De/Sanford School
Dixon had the first two double-doubles of his career, tallying 24 points and 11 rebounds against Fairfield on Friday and 13 points and 12 rebounds against Manhattan on Sunday. Dixon came into the week with only two games all season with more than five rebounds, but set a new career high with 11 in an overtime loss to Fairfield and passed it with 12 in a loss to Manhattan. The 24 points against Fairfield was the seventh-highest total for a freshman in Quinnipiac Division I history. He had 20 of his points and seven of his rebounds after halftime as he led the Bobcats back from a 16-point deficit to a three-point lead with nine seconds left, before Fairfield tied it just before the buzzer.
