The Colonial States Athletic Conference has named Immaculata College junior Nelson Torres (Marlton, NJ/Cherokee) its men's basketball Player of the Week for the week ending February 19, 2012.  Torres helped the Mighty Macs to a pair of CSAC victories to close the regular season on a four-game winning streak and clinch the final spot in the 2011-12 CSAC Championship Tournament.  The junior averaged 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.0 steals in the two victories, while tallying three steals and connecting for a .556 clip from the field.  In Monday's win over Marywood, Torres went for 11 points, four rebounds, and four assists, before exploding for a 25-point, 12-rebound double-double at Centenary on Wednesday.  He went 10-for-16 (.625) from the floor in the win, and added four assists and three steals.
