Cohen wrapped a extraordinary regular season with his league-leading fifth NEC Player of the Week accolade. The redshirt junior from Lincroft, NJ put up huge numbers in Saint Francis U’s split that netted the Red Flash the #3 seed in the upcoming NEC Tournament. He averaged 30.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting a torrid 67.7 percent from the floor. Cohen was in can’t miss mode on Thursday, converting 11-12 shots during a sparkling 31-point performance in Thursday’s 82-72 win over FDU that secured SFU a quarterfinal home game in the NEC Tournament. He then posted 29 points and an NEC career-high tying 12 boards against Wagner on Saturday. Cohen, who pulled down his 500th career rebound last week, became the 20th player in SFU history and 89th in NEC annals to compile 1,000 points and 500 caroms. He leads the NEC and ranks ninth nationally with 22.0 ppg. Cohen also paces the circuit in field goal percentage (.591) and is sixth in rebounding (8.1).
