University of Albany's Tim Ambrose earns Rookie of the Week honor

Cambridge, Mass. - Tim Ambrose was named the America East Conference’s men’s basketball rookie of the week after leading UAlbany to a 66-53 victory over St. Francis, N.Y. on Saturday, Dec. 15 at SEFCU Arena.

Ambrose, a 6-foot-0 freshman guard, scored all of his career-high 17 points in the second half, including six in a run of 15 that put the Great Danes in front for good. He posted career numbers in free throws (8) and steals (3) in just 16 minutes of action off the bench.

Ambrose, who reached double-figure scoring totals for the second time this season, becomes the second player to earn the conference’s rookie of the week honor, after classmate Josh Martin earned the honor on Nov. 26. Ambrose is averaging 8.4 points per game for the Great Danes on the season.
