Styers Shoots Way to NCAC Athlete of the Week Honor

Senior Brandon Styers scored a season-high 24 points during The College of Wooster men's basketball team's 82-53 win over Hiram College on Saturday evening, and on Monday, the Fighting Scots' star shooting guard earned North Coast Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week honors.

Styers dropped in 13 of his points during the Scots' remarkable game-opening 23-0 run. The senior was locked in from deep, hitting a trio of three-pointers during the scoring spree, with the last one capping the opening stretch at the 14:33 mark. Styers went 8-of-13 from the floor, 4-of-6 from deep, and was a perfect 4-of-4 from the line in Saturday's win over Hiram. Elsewhere, the biology major had three rebounds and two steals.

Earlier in the week, Styers scored 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting during Wooster's 77-60 win over Allegheny College. He had five rebounds and two assists in the midweek conference tilt.

Styers is leading the Scots with 16.3 point per night. This is his first NCAC Athlete of the Week honor and Wooster's second this season.

Wooster (6-1) is next in action on Saturday, December 18 at University of California, Santa Cruz (2-6). Tipoff from Kaiser Permanente Arena, home of the Golden State Warriors G League affiliate, is set for 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
