Monroe, who last week was named one of 18 finalists for the Bob Cousy Male Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award, is the recipient of his league-leading third Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week award of the season and fifth of his career for his performance in Quinnipiac’s 79-75 win over Fairleigh Dickinson last Wednesday. Monroe recorded his third double-double of 2004-05 with 23 points, 12 assists, five rebounds and two steals as the Bobcats dealt the Knights their first NEC setback of the season. He hit 3-4 shots from three-point range and was a perfect 10-10 from the line. With Quinnipiac nursing a 51-49 lead midway through the second half, Monroe ignited a 14-8 run with eight points, an assist and a steal to give the Bobcats an eight-point edge with 4:54 to play. He also helped seal the victory with a pair of free throws with 24 ticks left on the clock. The NEC leader in scoring (21.2 ppg) and assists (8.0 apg), Monroe also ranked 12th and third, respectively, in the two categories nationally in the most recent NCAA statistics report. Last week, the Lanham, MD native moved into 17th place on the NEC career assist list with 467. He also ranks 12th on the Quinnipiac all-time scoring list with 1,350 points, third in assists, fourth in three-pointers (215) and eighth in steals (119).
