Brown’s McGonagill, Hobbie Win Ivy Honors
Monday, November 18, 2013
Off to a 2-1 start to the season which could have been 3-0 were it not for a near upset of Providence College, the Brown University men's basketball team swept the Ivy League's weekly awards this week.
Senior captain Sean McGonagill (Brookfield, IL) was named the Ivy League's Player of the Week following his 21 point performance against PC last Wednesday and a 23-point day at Sacred Heart on Saturday. McGonagill also scored 22 in the team's season-opener against Binghamton on November 11th. He is shooting 55%(22-40) from the field through three games and 50% (12-24) from three point range.
Joining McGonagill on the league's weekly honors list is freshman Norman Hobbie (Spring Lake, NJ) who was named Rookie of the Week. Hobbie scored his first career field goal against Providence with a 3-pointer. He followed that up by going 4-5 from three point range at Sacred Heart where he scored 14 points off the bench to help the team beat the Pioneers.
