GORHAM, Maine   -  For the second consecutive week, freshman Carter Galley (Owls Head, Maine/Oceanside) of the University of Southern Maine Huskies' men's basketball team has been named the Little East Conference Rookie of the Week.  Carter was named the LEC Rookie of the Week on January 12, and has previously been named the Maine Men's Basketball Coaches & Writers Association (MMBCWA) Rookie of the Week on December 1.
 
Coming off of the bench in a pair of Little East Conference wins and helping the Huskies to a four-game win streak, Galley averaged 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds per game while shooting an outstanding 70.6 from the field (12-for-17).  In a 95-89 win over UMass Dartmouth in a midweek contest, Galley played 21 minutes in a reserve role, shooting 5-for-7 overall from the floor and 2-for-3 from three-point range for 12 points.  The Huskies' guard added three rebounds, an assist and a steal, scoring eight of his 12 points in the second half. Galley scored a career-high 20 points in the Huskies' 81-70 win over Eastern Connecticut on Saturday.  Playing 30 minutes, Galley was a remarkable 7-for-10 from the field (2-for-3 form three) and 4-for-4 from the free throw line for his career-high mark.  He added three rebounds and a steal. 
 
Playing in each of the Huskies' 16 games this season, Galley is the Huskies' third-leading scorer averaging 11.8 points per game while shooting 52.8 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from three.  He is chipping in with 3.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per contest.
