Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player-of-the-Week
BEREA, OHIO -- Baldwin-Wallace College sophomore guard Brendan Schuler (Fairview Park/ Fairview High School) is this week's Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week.
Schuler earned his honor for his efforts in a 102-77 win at Otterbein College in Westerville last Saturday. In that game, he canned all eight of his field goal attempts, including four three-pointers, and two-of-four foul shots to score 22 points as the Yellow Jackets improved to 5-1 overall. Schuler also had four assists, four rebounds and a steal in 25 minutes of action.
Schuler has had an outstanding beginning to his second season as a Yellow Jacket. In the season-opening Westminster (Pa.) College Tournament on November 18-19, he was named as the tournament Most Valuable Player and led B-W to the team title. The following weekend, Nov. 26-27, Schuler was tabbed as an all-tournament team player at the Allegheny (Pa.) College tourney. He scored a career-high 24 points in a 75-72 loss to eighth-ranked Albion (Mich.) College in the championship game.
After six games, Schuler is second on the team in scoring with 13.5 points per game and is connecting on 61.4 percent of his three-pointers (19-of-31), including 11 of his last 13 treys (846). He also leads the team with 23 assists.
The Yellow Jackets are back in action this Saturday, Dec. 10 when they open their home schedule against Muskingum College at the Ursprung Gymnasium in Berea at 3:00 p.m.
