Morse continued to play like anything but a freshman, pouring in 24.0 points per game last week. He added 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per outing, while converting at a 50.0 percent clip from the floor and 45.0 percent from three-point range. In doing so, he became just the fourth freshman in league history to be named NEC Player of the Week, joining Wagner’s Miladin Mutavdzic (2/2/92), CCSU’s Corsley Edwards (11/30/98) and Sacred Heart’s Cane Broome (12/8/14). He also took home his second straight NEC Rookie of the Week honor and fourth in the last five weeks. Morse scored a career-high 24 points in a 74-72 win over LIU Brooklyn, hitting 4-9 from downtown. His two free throws with 23 seconds to play gave the Mount a five-point cushion. Two days later, he matched his personal-best with 24 points and helped lead a furious comeback that came up just short in a setback to St. Francis Brooklyn. Morse hit three of his five trifectas in the last four minutes, the last of which brought it to a one possession game with 49 seconds to play. The Suitland, MD native leads all NEC freshman and ranks 13th overall with 13.8 ppg on the season. He is the fourth-ranked NEC scorer in league play with 17.1 ppg.
