Cohen picked up his league-leading fourth NEC Player of the Week accolade on the strength of averaging 25.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals, while converting at a 53.8 percent clip from the floor in a Red Flash split. He was the catalyst behind SFU’s rally from a 17-point deficit midway through the second half in Thursday’s thrilling 78-76 overtime win over Sacred Heart on ESPN U. Cohen made his last nine shots in the game, including the game-winner with 3.6 seconds to play. He finished with 22 of his NEC career-best 27 points in the second half, including eight in OT alone. The Lincroft, NJ product followed with 24 points, nine boards and a career-high tying six assists vs. Merrimack. Cohen is just two points shy of 1,000 for his career and has a conference-high 13 games with at least 20 points this season. He leads the NEC and ranks ninth nationally with 21.7 ppg. Cohen is also first in the league in field goal percentage (.590) and fourth in rebounding (8.0). He is the 22nd player in NEC history to win four or more Player of the Week awards in a season.
