RINDGE, N.H. (December 12, 2005) – Franklin Pierce guard Timothy Munch (Blauvelt, N.Y./Storm King Prep) was named the men’s basketball Freshman of the Week by the Northeast-10 Conference this afternoon.

            Munch collects his first weekly award of his young collegiate career after netting a team-high 14 points to go with a season-best four assists and two rebounds in Franklin Pierce’s lone game of the week a Northeast-10 Conference setback at the College of Saint Rose on Wednesday.

He netted a season-high 31 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field (4-10 three’s) in the Ravens 83-57 win over Baruch College on November 20 – just his second collegiate game.
