NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Senior swingman Arthur Robertson (Far Rockaway, N.Y./Beach Channel) was named Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) men's basketball honorable mention on Monday afternoon.

He scored 17 of his 25 points in the second half, helping the Eagles come from behind to earn their first conference victory of the season.

In addition, he also grabbed his 600^th career rebound against the Warriors, controlling six caroms in the contest. In the last outing against C.W. Post, he became the latest member of the 1,000-point club at Post.
