Senior Forward David Menary Garners SCIAC Men's Basketball Offensive Athlete of the Week

It was announced earlier today by the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) that for the second week in a row, a University of Redlands men's basketball player earned a weekly award. This week, senior forward David Menary (Grass Valley, CA) was named the Offensive Athlete of the Week after a strong pair of games.

Menary tallied 44 points, 20 rebounds, and eight assists in a 2-0 week at the Lee Fulmer Memorial Classic last weekend. In the first game, Menary stuffed the stat sheet with 15 points, six assists, two blocks, and one steal in an 87-62 win over Luther College (IA). He then registered a dominant double-double with 29 points and 13 rebounds in an 87-70 victory over Southwestern University (TX) the next night. Six of his rebounds came on the offensive end.

Overall, Menary currently ranks fifth in the conference with 18.7 points per game and second in rebounds with 7.7 per contest. He also sits second in the SCIAC with an efficient 63.6 field-goal percentage. He poses a threat on the defensive end with a SCIAC-best 1.7 blocks per game.
