Mount St. Mary's senior guard Julian Norfleet has been named the Choice Hotels/Northeast Conference Co-Player of the Week. Norfleet averaged 23.5 points, 6.0 assists and 2.5 steals while shooting 68.2 percent from the field and 58.3 percent from three-point range as the Mount split a pair of road games.
Norfleet was spectacular in the Mount's 104-84 win at Norfolk State on Friday, finishing with a career-high 31 points, 10 assists and four steals. He was 11-for-13 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range in the game while posting his first career double-double. Norfleet tallied a team-best 16 points in the Mount's loss at Texas Tech last Monday.
Norfleet leads the Mount in scoring (19.6) and assists (5.6) and he is ranked in the top 10 in the NEC in six different categories. He is third in the NEC in scoring (19.6) and assists (5.6), fifth in steals (1.5), seventh in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.87), and eighth in field goal percentage (.470) and three-point percentage (.397).
