This week's winners are men's basketball player Zack Denny and women's basketball player Sydney Lambert.
Male Athlete of the Week
Zack Denny, a junior from Germantown, Ohio, posted his third double-double of the season and the fourth of his career with 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Falcons to a 62-47 road win at Cleveland State. Denny was 5-of-10 shooting overall, including going 1-of-2 from behind the three-point line. His 13 points was tied for the game-high, while the 6-1 guard led all players with 10 rebounds. Defensively, Denny helped to hold CSU's leading scorer Rob Edwards scoreless, as he was 0-of-8 from the field shooting with five turnovers. He averaged 11.7 points per game heading into the contest.
Female Athlete of the Week
Sydney Lambert, a freshman from Cincinnati, Ohio, scored a game-high 14 points in the Falcons' lone game of the week, a 58-45 loss to mid-major power South Dakota State. She led the Falcons and tied for game honors with four assists. Lambert's point total tied her career best, and she played a career-high 37 minutes against the Jackrabbits.
