Feb. 23, 2015 PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - Junior men's basketball guard Devin Martin (Baltimore, Md.) and senior women's basketball guard Shawnee Sweeney (Chester, Va.) were named the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Peninsula Regional Medical Center Athletes of the Week for the week ending on February 23rd. Both athletes are being honored for the third time this season.
Martin exploded in two Hawk victories this past week. Against Howard on Monday, Martin was 9-for-11 from the floor, including two-of-three from long range. Adding on three foul shots, Martin finished with a team-high 23 points. He also contributed a team-high seven rebounds while adding an assist, a block and two steals. In Saturday's win over South Carolina State, Martin added 22 more, going 8-for-14 overall and 3-for-4 from downtown.
Sweeney was as nearly potent offensively for the women's team. The school's all-time three point leader, she tacked on two more triples to that total versus Howard while adding a pair of two pointers and two foul shots to score 12. Sweeney also added seven rebounds, third-most on the team, and two assists. On Saturday, she made all of her baskets behind the line, going 5-for-7 long distance, ultimately scoring 17 points.
Martin and the men's team will have the week to rest up before taking on Delaware State on Saturday. Sweeney and the Lady Hawks will travel to North Jersey to face NJIT on Tuesday before joining the men in Dover.
