PITTSBURGH - Point guard Sincere Carry (Solon, Ohio) has been named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week for the second time for his performance in Duquesne's two road wins last week. The 6-1 point guard averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists in helping DU to victories at Richmond and George Washington.

Carry, who ranks second in the A-10 in both assists (5.6) and steals (2.9) per game, had 21 points and 6 assists in the Dukes' 74-68 win at Richmond. It was DU's first victory at UR since 1993. He followed that with 19 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in Duquesne's 91-85 overtime win at George Washington.
