Cross adds second MASCAC player of the week honors
North Adams, MA- MCLA junior Keiland Cross has been selected as the MASCAC rookie of the week for the second time this season the conference announced earlier today. Cross took home the honors on November 21st prior to this week's award. Fitchburg State's Jalen Williams was tabbed as the player of the week.

The local product from Pittsfield High School is in his first season in a Trailblazer uniform after competing at the club level for Berkshire Community College last year. Cross is currently averaging 11 points per game, which ranks him third on the team.
