WALKER, LONG NAMED UMES PRMC ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Nov. 24, 2014

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - Senior men's basketball guard Devon Walker (Philadelphia, Pa.) and senior women's basketball guard Jessica Long (Fort Washington, Md.) were named the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Peninsula Regional Medical Center Athletes of the Week for the week ending on November 24th. Both athletes are being named for the first time this year.



Walker reached double figures twice in three contests for the Hawks during the past week. In Wednesday's victory over Mount St. Mary's, he was 5-for-9 from the field and 2-for-5 from beyond the arc. Combined with two successful foul shots Walker ended the game with a team-high 14 points. The next night versus VCU, Walker nailed seven triples for another team-high of 21 points. He finished the week going 3-for-8 with one three pointer at St. Francis (PA) on Saturday. Overall, Walker converted 53.6% of the shots he attempted in the three games.



Long was the lone Lady Hawk who registered double figures in both women's games this past week. At home against Virginia Commonwealth on Thursday, she posted a team-high 17 points while grabbing four boards. Against Marshall this past Saturday, she fell one rebound shy of a double-double, scoring 12 points with nine rebounds.



Walker and the men's team will face Detroit on Monday and either Toledo or Bucknell on Tuesday in the final days of the Legends Classic at Toledo, Ohio. Long and the women's team return home for a matchup with Cheyney at 6:00p.m. on Tuesday.



HONORABLE MENTIONS: On the women's side, junior TeAmber Burke (Washington, N.C) earned a double-double against Marshall with a team-high 20 points and 10 rebounds. For the men, senior Mike Myers (Camden, N.J.) finished with 31 points and 16 rebounds over the three games, and junior Devin Martin (Baltimore, Md.) scored 20 against VCU this past Thursday.
