Two senior centers, Malia Lee and Sasa Vuksanovic, have been named the Pepsi Athletes of the Week for their basketball performances against Â鶹´«Ã½ Pacific University (HPU) during the last week of February.
Lee had two very productive games¡ªa double-double in Wednesday¡¯s game against No. 2 nationally ranked HPU with 11 points and 10 rebounds, and followed that up with a near repeat performance on Thursday with eight points and nine rebounds. She missed only two shots all weekend, hitting 8-of-10 attempts from the field.
Vuksanovic had back-to-back 16-point games to help lead the Vulcans to a pair of victories over the HPU Sharks. He had 16 points and 12 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season in Wednesday¡¯s 73-66 victory and added another 16 and six boards in Thursday¡¯s 64-53 triumph. He was 14-for-23 from the field, scoring on a variety of slick post moves in the paint.
