ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell freshman guard Robert Hatter was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week after an explosive first two collegiate games against a pair of 2012-13 postseason squads. It was the first weekly honor passed out by the Ancient Eight.

Hatter averaged 20.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in two games while shooting 56 percent from the floor and connecting on 7-of-10 3-pointers in contests against Syracuse and Loyola (MD). He posted a freshman-record 32 points against the Greyhounds in a 93-89 overtime loss.

Hatter opened his career with a solid nine-point, two-rebound, two-assist effort in just 14 minutes of action at #8/7 Syracuse. The Big Red took a 14-point lead in the first half and led by six at the break before falling 82-60 to the Orange, a Final Four squad from a year ago. He answered that with a sensational 32-point, six-rebound, five-assist effort in the overtime loss to Loyola. He scored 20 points in the first half, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer off an offensive rebound and connected on a pair of free throws with three seconds to play to tie the game and send it into overtime.

Hatter and the Big Red return to action on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. when they face Binghamton at Newman Arena.
