PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - Senior men's basketball forward Mike Myers (Camden, N.J.) and senior bowler Mariana Alvarado (Leon, Mexico) have been named the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Peninsula Regional Medical Center Athlete of the Week for the week ending on January 26^th. Myers is being named for the fifth time this year, while Alvardo is being named for the second time.

Myers impressed once again in two games over the past week. At home against South Carolina State, the Hawks senior racked up 13 points with three rebounds, three assists and two steals. In a road win over Bethune-Cookman, Myers picked up his fourth double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds, going 8-of-14 from the field and adding eight foul shots along the way. Myers remains the Hawks' leading scorer and rebounder this year, averaging 15.5 points per game and 6.9 boards per contest.

Alvarado excelled as the Hawks placed third out of 27 teams at the Kutztown Invite this past weekend. In six total individual games, she tallied a pinfall of 1,358, good for an average of 226.33 pins per game. Furthermore, she tied her career high in an individual game, scoring a 279 in game two. Mariana also contributed highly in the team's Baker matches, including his service as anchor as UMES completed the third perfect 300 Baker game in team history. She was named tournament MVP for her efforts.

Myers returns to the hardwood tonight as the men's basketball team takes on Florida A&M in Tallahassee, while Alvarado and the UMES bowlers travel to Texas this weekend for the Prairie View A&M Invitational.
