November 17, 2008--Mount St. Mary's junior guard Jeremy Goode (Charlotte, N.C./Providence Day) has been named the Choice Hotels Northeast Conference Player of the Week for the first week of the season. It is the second time in his career that Goode has been named NEC Player of the Week.

Goode opened the season with 25 points, four rebounds, four assists and a pair of steals in the Mount's 84-76 win over longtime rival Loyola on Friday night. Goode went 6-for-11 from the field and 3-of-4 from three-point range in the game. The 25 points were just two shy of Goode's career high of 27 set at James Madison last year.

Goode, a Preseason All-NEC selection, led the Mount in scoring (14.5), assists (5.5) and steals (2.0) last year in helping lead the Mount to the NEC title and the NCAA Tournament. Goode now has 816 career points, just 20 shy of moving into the Mount's top 50 scorers in school history.

Goode becomes the fifth player in Mount history to receive more than one NEC Player of the Week Award in their career. He joins Chris McGuthrie (seven), Landy Thompson (four),Gregory Harris (two) and Kevin Booth (two) on that list.

The Mount plays at Virginia Tech tonight at 8:00 p.m.
