Redshirt freshman scored team-leading 10 points in Saturday’s game versus UMBC
BOSTON – University of New Hampshire redshirt freshman Blondeau Tchoukuiengo (Montreal, Quebec) was named the America East Men's Basketball Rookie of the Week for his performance in the Jan. 9-10 games against UMBC at Lundholm Gym.
It is the second America East Rookie of the Week award for Tchoukuiengo, who was previously feted November 30. He is the only two-time recipient this season.
On Saturday, Tchoukuiengo scored a team-leading 10 points in the Wildcats' 69-54 loss to the Retrievers. The 6-foot-2 guard went 3-for-5 from the floor, hit both of his 3-point attempts, went 2-for-2 at the free-throw line and handed out two assists. In Sunday's 68-66 defeat, the Montreal, Quebec, native had two points and two assists in 14 minutes.
UNH (4-5, 3-3 America East) hits the road to meet conference-leading Stony Brook (6-4, 4-0 AE) in back-to-back games at Island Federal Credit Union Arena on Saturday, Jan. 16, and Sunday, Jan. 17. Each game is slated to tip off at 2 p.m. on ESPN3.
