DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - DeForest Carter of Embry-Riddle becomes the first Eagle in two seasons to earn Sun Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week honors. Carter was chosen by the conference sports information directors for his performance in Embry-Riddle's games from Nov. 12-18, 2012.
Carter, a sophomore from Montverde, Fla., was masterful over the course of the Eagles' three games this past week, leading the team in points (12.7), assists (6.7) and steals (3.4), while also grabbing 4.0 rebounds per night. The Eagles had a pair of big wins over DeVry and Carroll (Mont.) and a 13-point comeback victory over Montana Tech. Carter shot nearly 64 percent from the floor and was a near-perfect 8-for-9 from the charity stripe.
