StatSheet's NEC Player of the Week for February 6th goes to Wagner's Latif Rivers. StatSheet's NEC Freshman of the Week is Mount St. Mary's's Kelvin Parker. And finally, Wagner's Orlando Parker has received StatSheet's NEC 6th Man of the Week. Rivers registered 4 rebounds per game, 50% shooting, and 19 points per game. The Wagner sophomore put these numbers up in wins against Robert Morris and St. Francis (PA).

Rivers topped all scoring for the Seahawks with 28 points while also adding 4 rebounds in an 80-69 win over Robert Morris. He followed that up with 10 points and 4 assists in a 72-54 win over St. Francis (PA).
