Norfolk, Va. (Dec. 26, 2018) --- Delaware State swingman Kevin Larkin (sr.) has been honored by the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for his play last week. Larkin has been selected as the MEAC Player-of-the-Week after averaging 22.5 points and 11.5 rebounds in Hornet contests against Delaware and Weber State.

The Georgetown, Del., native scored the game-winning basket with 3.4 seconds left in DSU's 73-71 victory at Delaware on Dec. 19. He led the Hornets with 22 points and 13 rebounds, in addition to contributing four assists and two steals in the game.

Larkin also recorded a double-double vs. Weber State last week, tallying team-highs of 23 points and 10 rebounds.   

He has a team-leading four double-double this season, each in the Hornets' last five games.

For the season, Larkin leads the team in scoring at 15.6 points per game and in rebounds at 9.0 per contest.
