CAMBRIDGE, MA -- For a second consecutive week, Lesley guard John Sanchez was named New England Collegiate Conference Player of the Week, the league announced today.

Sanchez's week included a buzzer-beating jumper, a road win at the league's No. 2 team and his 1,000th career point. In the Lynx 69-67 win over MASCAC opponent Plymouth State on Tuesday, Sanchez sank the game-winning jumper with 2.7 seconds left, scoring 16 points, handing out a game-high nine assists and pulling in four rebounds. On Thursday in the Lynx 65-63 win over second-place Wheelock, Sanchez scored 23 points, shot 10-12 from the line and dished out seven assists.

However, the guard's career milestone came on Saturday. His first half 19-footer marked point No. 1,000 for his three-year career with the Lynx, and led the team with 25 points and nine assists in Lesley's 85-73 win over Southern Vermont.

For the week, the 5-foot-8 senior averaged 21.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 2.3 steals and shot over 65 percent from the field, 87 percent from the charity stripe and an even 50 percent from three-point range. Playing all 40 minutes in all three games didn't wear him down in the least, as Sanchez not only scored efficiently and at will, but he operated the offense as precisely as ever, earning a 2.3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Sanchez's Lynx returns to action on Tuesday at Regis at 5:30 p.m.
