BOSTON, Mass. – Emmanuel College freshman guard James Sullivan (Wethersfield, Conn.) has been named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference men's basketball Rookie of the Week, it was announced by the conference office earlier this afternoon. This marks the second time this season that Sullivan has earned the honor as he was also recognized by the GNAC for his play during the week ending on November 24.

Last week, the Wethersfield, Conn. native put together the best week of his rookie season averaging 23.0 points and 4.5 rebounds over two games for Emmanuel. The swingman scored a game-high 25 points against Norwich University and followed it up with 21 points against Johnson & Wales for another game-high effort.
