CIAA Weekly Honors

Bowie State's Elijah Davis has been named the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Men's Basketball Defensive Player of the Week announced on Monday by the league's office.
 
The award is Davis' first honor of the season.
 
Davis was a menace on defense for the Bulldogs in the past three games. He tallied 34 total points, 10 rebounds, 13 steals, and two blocks. Davis' best game defensively was against UDC, where he totaled a season-high five steals. The CIAA leader in steals (2.8 steals per game) looks to be a disruptive force all season long.
