PITTSBURGH - Austin Rotroff (Wauseon, Ohio/Wauseon) was named Atlantic 10 co-Rookie of the Week for his performance in Duquesne's 84-70 season-opening win over William & Mary on Saturday.

The 6-10 forward came off the bench to score a team high-tying 17 points and corral seven rebounds in 20 minutes to help the Dukes put away the Tribe.

Rotroff, who totaled 13 points in an 8:41 span of the second half, finished 6-of-7 from the field, including 3-of-3 from the 3-point arc. He went 2-of-2 from the foul line.

The Ohio native is the second Duke to earn Rookie of the Week honors under second-year head coach Keith Dambrot, joining sophomore teammate Eric Williams Jr. who was named A-10 ROW four times last season.
