Price's Career Night Followed by NCAC Weekly Honor
Senior guard NCAC Athlete of the Week
College of Wooster senior Ashton Price's milestone-filled Saturday earned the Fighting Scots' guard North Coast Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week honors on Tuesday.
Price scored a career-high 29 points in Saturday's 92-80 win over Oberlin College, which included his 1,000th collegiate point. Price hit the milestone on a corner 3-pointer with 3:23 remaining in the first half. The senior went 9-of-15 from the floor and 9-of-10 at the free throw line. He added three assists and two rebounds to the career-high 29 points.
This is the second straight week a Wooster player has earned the NCAC Athlete of the Week award. Senior Jamir Billings was last week's recipient.
Wooster is off to a 5-0 start and is up to 13th in this week's D3hoops.com Top 25 Poll. Wooster (1-0 NCAC) returns to action on Wednesday, December 4 with a 7 p.m. game at Hiram College (3-3, 0-1 NCAC).
