MADISON, N.J. - The Landmark Conference has recognized four
student-athletes as Players of the Week following the first week of
competition for several winter sports. The selections are made by
the Landmark Conference office.

Scranton senior center Tom Bicknell was named the MVP of the Tom
Masano Tournament (Alvernia) after helping the Royals claim
the tourney title. Bicknell produced double-doubles in points and
rebounds in both tournament games. He had 14 points ad 15 rebounds
in the opener and then scored a career-best 21 points to go with 12
rebounds in the championship. He was 8-of-12 from the field in the
championship game, and shot 59-percent from the field for the week.
The two double-doubles gave him 19 for his career.

start the 2007-08 season with a victory as she turned in one of the
