WINTHROP, Mass. – Regis College freshman guard Cam Wilkins (Taunton, Mass.) has been named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Men's Basketball Rookie of the Week for the third time this season, announced Monday by the league office.

Saturday against Emmanuel, one of the top teams in the GNAC, he led the Pride with 19 points on 9-of-13 shooting, to go with five rebounds. It is his second-highest scoring output of the season and the first time he has reached double figures in consecutive games since a stretch of four straight games with 10 or more points from Nov. 26 through Dec. 4.

For the season, Wilkins is shooting 64.6 percent from the field as he is averaging 9.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
