RICHMOND, Va. – Delaware senior forward Dylan Painter was named Colonial Athletic Association Men's Basketball Co-Player of the Week while freshman forward Andrew Carr earned league Rookie of the Week honors on Monday.
Painter averaged 17.5 points and 17.0 rebounds during the Blue Hens' two games vs. Hofstra, shooting 57.7 percent (15 of 26) from the field and blocking four shots on the weekend.

Carr tied Ryan Allen for the team lead with 19 points and four assists in the win on Friday, and led UD with a season-high 20 points on 8 of 12 shooting to go with a season-high six rebounds during Sunday's game.
