The center is coming off a week where he averaged 19.0 points, 15.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks as he tallied two double-doubles on the week recording 38 points, 31 rebounds, four blocks, and four assists.
Carey began the week with his sixth double-double of the season with a career-high 22 points, 11 rebounds, and four blocks against STAC on Wednesday (Jan. 18) before concluding the week with 16 points, and a career-high 20 rebounds against Mercy on Saturday (Jan. 21).
The 20 rebounds are the most by an ECC player this season and the first 20-rebound performance in Knights' history since the 1976-77 season.
His two game performances would earn him his second East Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors.
