York, Pa. - For the fourth time this season, Camontae Griffin (Baltimore, Md./Dunbar) was selected as the Capital Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week as Griffin picked up the honor for the week ending February 7 as announced by league commissioner, Tom Byrnes, Monday afternoon.

Griffin guided the No. 20 Seahawks (17-3, 9-2 CAC) in their only game of the week to a 91-82 overtime victory at Christopher Newport University as the 5-9 senior guard poured in a game-high 34 points.  He drained 19-of-21 from the free throw line, including all 12 in the first half, and added four boards, two thefts and two assists.

St. Mary's, ranked No. 5 in the first edition of the NCAA Division III Middle Atlantic Region rankings, will be back in action tomorrow as the Seahawks will travel to Fredericksburg, Va. to face University of Mary Washington in conference action at 8:00 pm.
