LYCOMING’S WESNER NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK FOR MEN’S BASKETBALL

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – Lycoming College senior guard Tommy Wesner (Dillsburg, PA; Northern) has been named the MAC Freedom Conference Player of the Week for men’s basketball. This is the second time this season that Wesner has been honored as the player of the week and the third consecutive week that a Warrior has been honored.

Wesner led Lycoming to a pair of conference victories last week with solid performances against Scranton and Delaware Valley. On Wednesday versus the Royals, Wesner scored a game-high 32 points, while also grabbing a team-high eight rebounds and dishing out five assists. He also hit six three-pointers in the game giving him 236 triples for his career, setting a new Warrior record. Wesner followed that performance with a 23-point, four-rebound effort at Delaware Valley on Saturday.

For the week, he averaged 27.5 points per game while shooting 46% (19-of-41) from the field, 44% (10-of-23) from three-point range, and 78% (7-of-9) from the free throw line. He also compiled 12 rebounds and eight assists.

Wesner was the Freedom Conference Player of the Year in 2002 and is currently the league’s second-leading scorer behind only teammate Matt Stackhouse (Jr./Hughesville, PA; Hughesville). As a team Lycoming is 12-7 overall this season. The Warriors, who are defending conference champions, lead the Freedom Conference with a record of 7-1 versus conference opponents.
