LYCOMING'S STACKHOUSE NAMED MAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – Lycoming College sophomore Matt Stackhouse (Hughesville, PA; Hughesville) has been named the Middle Atlantic Freedom Conference Player of the Week for men’s basketball.

Last week, Stackhouse continued to turn in a stellar sophomore campaign with two big performances in important conference contests. On Wednesday versus Drew, he led all players with 26 points and 14 rebounds in the Warriors’ 28-point victory. On Saturday at King’s, he scored 17 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and blocked six shots in an 11-point loss to the Monarchs.

For the season, Stackhouse is averaging 12.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. He also has blocked a team-high 40 shots. His 58.8% shooting from the field ranks second in the conference and his 71.4% shooting from the free-throw line ranks 8^th.
