Saint Joseph’s freshman Colby Wood collected Rookie of the Week honors. The awards were announced on Monday for games played from March 216-23.

Accardo picked up a program-record 19 ground balls which also was a NCAA single-game high this season. A face-off specialist from Syosset, N.Y., he went 21-23 on the faceoff including a perfect 15-15 in the first half in the conference win over league newcomer Delaware.
