SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Forward Maurice Barrow (Queens, N.Y.) was named the 2014 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Men's Basketball 6^th Man of the Year, the second straight year that the senior has captured the award. The award was presented at the MAAC's annual awards presentation at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Friday evening.

"It is an honor to be named the MAAC Sixth Player of the Year," Barrow said. "Whether I started or came off the bench, I always looked to provide a spark and to help the team in any way I could. I am grateful to the conference coaches for recognizing me with this award for the second time."

Barrow completed his senior season by averaging a team-best 14 points per game, and was the team's leading or co-leading scorer in six of the last eight games. During the season, he was the top scorer in 17 games, highlighted by his career-high 26-point performance against Iona in December. He completed the double-double that night with 10 rebounds.

The forward finished his career with 1,309 points which places 15^th all-time in school history, and added 709 rebounds throughout his career. He just missed the school record for career games as his 137 appearances was one shy of the mark.
