WHITE PLAINS, NY (22 December 2008) – Darryl Crawford (Harlem, NY/All Hallows) is this week’s PrestoSports/Met Basketball Writers Association Player of the Week after leading Manhattan College (6-3 overall, 1-1 MAAC) to a thrilling 86-80 victory over Binghamton University. He is the second Jasper in as many weeks to win this award.

The junior guard led all scorers with a career-high 29 points, lifting the Jaspers to the win. Crawford logged 34 minutes off the bench, connecting on eight of his 14 shots, better than 57%, including making three of his four shots from three-point territory. The New York native converted ten free throws and equaled a career-high with four assists. Crawford added four rebounds to his valiant effort. He is second on Manhattan in scoring this season, averaging 13.2 points per game in a reserve roll.
