FREDONIA, N.Y. (Nov. 22, 2010) -- SUNY Plattsburgh senior forward Errol Daniyan has started the 2010-11 season off on a good note by becoming the 13th Cardinal to score 1,000 career points over the weekend, and Monday he earned the first men's basketball player of the week award from the State University of New York Athletic Conference.

The Coram product (Longwood High School) averaged 19.3 points while shooting 59 percent (23 of 39) and grabbed 8.7 boards in three games during the week, as Plattsburgh finished 2-1.
