Monday, January 20, 2020 PORTLAND, Ore. – It was a record week for Saint Martin’s senior forward Bria Thames and Montana State Billings senior guard Tyler Green, who lead the latest list of GNAC Player of the Week honorees. Thames was selected as the Women’s Basketball Player of the Week after she set the GNAC single-game record for rebounds in Saturday’s 53-47 win over Concordia. She pulled down 29 boards, smashing the previous record of 24 by Simon Fraser’s Nayo Raincock-Eknuwe in 2012. It is the third-biggest rebound total in all divisions of NCAA women’s basketball this season. Thames also scored 14 points to make it a double-double performance. In Thursday’s 71-64 win over Western Oregon, Thames had another impressive double-double as she finished with 14 points and 19 rebounds. For the week, Thames finished with 28 points and 48 rebounds, making 10 of 22 from the field and 8 of 12 from the free-throw line. Green earned the Men’s Basketball Player of the Week award after he tied the GNAC single-game record for three-pointers made with 12 in Thursday’s 96-67 rout of Saint Martin’s. The 12 ties the mark set by Alaska Anchorage’s Kyle Fossman in 2014 and is the most three-pointers made this season in all divisions of NCAA men’s basketball. Green finished with a total of 38 points in the game, shooting 13 of 18 from the field and 12 of 17 from beyond the arc. Green turned around to finish with 19 points in Saturday’s 83-72 loss at league-leading Seattle Pacific. For the week, Green finished with 57 points, shooting 19 of 33 from the field and 16 of 28 from three-point range. The track at the Dempsey Indoor Center in Seattle provided all four Track & Field Athlete of the Week awards as eight GNAC teams competed at the UW Preview. Western Oregon junior Derek Holdsworth was named the Men’s Track Athlete of the Week after winning the 800 meters in a time of 1:50.02. The NCAA Championships provisional qualifying mark is No. 3 on the GNAC All-Time List and is No. 6 this season across all collegiate divisions.

Concordia swept the Field Athlete of the Week awards in the Cavaliers’ opening competition of the indoor season. Junior Jakob Chamberlin earned the men’s award after he finished fourth in the shot put with a lifetime best mark of 55 feet, 0.75 inches. An NCAA Championships provisional qualifying mark, Chamberlin ranks 15th in Division II this season while also ranking No. 5 on the GNAC All-Time List.
