Armon Harried Earns MAAC Rookie of the Week Honors

For the second time in three weeks, Canisius freshman guard Armon Harried has been named the MAAC's Rookie of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday. Harried averaged 11.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in two games as the Golden Griffins went 1-1 on their road trip through New Jersey.
 
By earning his second MAAC Rookie of the Week award this season, the Baltimore, Md., native becomes the second newcomer in the league to be recognized with a conference weekly honor multiple times during the 2019-20 campaign, joining teammate Jacco Fritz. Fritz earned three-straight rookie of the week awards from Nov. 18-Dec. 2. Additionally, with this week's acknowledgement, Harried and Fritz become the first pair of Canisius freshmen to receive multiple conference rookie of the week awards in the same season since 2000-01.
 
Harried matched a career-high with 15 points in the loss at Monmouth Jan. 10, on a night where he also grabbed four rebounds and was credited with two steals. In Canisius' 72-68 win at Saint Peter's Jan. 12, he posted eight points, highlighted by a pair of 3-point field goals, to go with six boards, an assist and a steal. For the season, he has started all 16 games in his rookie campaign for the Blue and Gold, where he is averaging 7.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest, which ranks 10th in the MAAC.
 
Canisius (6-10, 1-4 MAAC) returns home this weekend for a pair of MAAC games, starting Friday, Jan. 17, when the team hosts Siena at the Koessler Athletic Center on Anderson's Night. All fans in attendance will receive free ice cream postgame, compliments of Anderson's. Game time between the Griffs and Saints is set for 7 p.m. The Blue and Gold will close out its brief weekend homestand Sunday, Jan. 19, when the team squares off against Rider on Alumni Day, with tip-off set for 2 p.m., at the Koessler Athletic Center.
