PITTSBURGH - Senior Marcus Weathers has been named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week for his performance in Duquesne's wins over Fordham and Saint Joseph's last week.

Weathers, a 6-5 forward, posted back-to-back double-doubles in earning his second career A-10 Player of the Week honor.

The preseason Second Team All-A-10 pick, opened with 19 points and 12 rebounds at Fordham and followed that with a season-high 24 points and 12 more rebounds in the win over Saint Joseph's.

For the week, Weathers averaged 21.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals and shot .625 from the field. He made good on 4-of-9 3-point attempts (.444) and went 9-of-9 from the foul line in helping the Dukes get back to .500.

Duquesne (6-6, 5-5) returns to action tomorrow night when it hosts Dayton (10-4, 6-3) in the first game at DU's newly renovated UMPC Cooper Fieldhouse. The game, which will be the Dukes' first on campus since March of 2019, will air nationally on ESPNU at 9:00 p.m.
