Men's basketball forward Derrick Taylor and women's basketball shooting guard Samuelle Hakh have been named Huskies athletes of the week for the period ending November 21st.
Taylor was both an absolute beast and highly efficient in the two exhibition games. He went 17-for-27 from the field for 38 points, 30 rebounds (11 offensive and 17 defensive rebounds), seven assists and two blocks. He led the team in all four of those categories in the two-game span.
He posted a double-double in both contests, with the most dominant game coming on the road against the Niagara Knights. He filled up the stat sheet posting 21 points, a game-high 19 rebounds, seven of which were offensive boards, as well as a game-high five assists in the team’s 82-78 victory over the Knights. He followed up that performance with 17 points and a game-high 11 rebounds in an 83-80 win over the St. Clair Saints.
Hakh was the most consistent player through the team’s two exhibition games. She tallied a team-high 21 points, four three-pointers, 10 rebounds and four steals last week.
The second-year’s best game came against the St. Clair Saints, where she went a perfect three-for-three from deep for 11 points and affected the game defensively, posting a game-high four steals in a losing effort.
