Daniel Higgins, men's basketball

Sophomore Daniel Higgins (Wakefield, MA/Austin Prep) averaged 11.0 points per game last week, shooting 7-of-8 from three-point range, including turning in just the fourth 5-for-5 three-point performance by a New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) player in the league's three-year history on Saturday against Newbury College. Higgins dropped a career-high 16 points against the Nighthawks, adding a free throw and a rebound during 21 minutes off the bench. On Thursday, Higgins was 2-for-3 from beyond the arc en route to scoring six points in 12 reserve minutes. Prior to last week's contests, Higgins had scored three points in 29 minutes during seven contests this season.
