Offensive Player of the Week
Jalen Pierce / SR / Wilson College / Richmond, Pa. / Collegiate
Few had better opening weekends than Jalen Pierce as he averaged 21 points and 9 rebounds per game. He did so while shooting 80% (16-for-20) from the field as well. He opened with a 12 point, 7 rebound performance at Gettysburg where he went 5-for-7 with four assists as the Phoenix nearly knocked off the tournament hosts as a last-second 3-point attempt just missed giving Wilson the victory. The very next night Gettysburg took No. 2 Randolph-Macon to the wire before falling by three points. Just before that Pierce heated up the floor once again by going 11-for-13 from the field, including a perfect 4-for-4 on 3-pointers, and dished out four more assists. He added 11 rebounds for a double-double, nine of which were off the glass.
This is Pierce's first ever weekly accoalde.
