BROOKLYN, N.Y. - LIU Brooklyn men's basketball junior Raiquan Clark was named the Northeast Conference men's basketball Player of the Week, it was announced by the league office Monday afternoon. It is Clark's second career honor from the conference, and the first this season.

Clark opened his junior campaign with one of the top offensive performances in recent NEC memory. He racked up a career-high 34 points on 14-20 shooting from the floor as LIU Brooklyn took Tulane to the final seconds in a 102-96 road setback on Friday. Clark, who hit 5-6 from the stripe, also paced the Blackbirds with three steals and his seven rebounds tied for the team lead in Derek Kellogg's coaching debut. He scored 24 of his points after intermission to help LIU rally from 16 down and pull within two points with under 30 seconds to play. Clark, a New Haven, CT native who walked on at LIU two years ago, doubled his previous career-high of 17 points, which came against Sacred Heart on February 18, 2017. The 34 points were also the most by an LIU player since Julian Boyd scored 34 vs. FDU on January 27, 2011.
 
The Blackbirds take on Fordham on the road, Monday, November 13 at 7 p.m.
