DENVER – Seattle U earned a sweep of this week's Western Athletic Conference honors as Cameron Tyson has been named the TicketSmarter WAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week and Vasja Pandža has been named TicketSmarter WAC Men's Basketball Freshman of the Week for January 17 through January 23.
Tyson, a sophomore guard from Bothell, Wash., averaged 19.0 points and 4.7 rebounds per game to lead Seattle U to a trio of road wins. On Monday at California Baptist, the three-point specialist finished with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-6 from behind the arc, to help the Redhawks earn an overtime win in Riverside. He followed that up with 20 points on Thursday at Abilene Christian, making 6-of-13 shots, including a trio of three-pointers, and shooting 5-for-6 on free throws. His offensive prowess extended into the weekend, finishing with 21 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including 5-of-6 behind the three-point line, and 4-of-6 on free throws for 21 points in a win at Tarleton.
Pandža, a guard from Leeds, England, played a big role in the Redhawks' overtime win at California Baptist on Monday. In 33 minutes of play, he finished with eight points, seven rebounds, four steals and an assist. Following limited minutes at Abilene Christian, he scored four points with three rebounds and a block in Seattle U's 76-68 win at Tarleton on Saturday.
The key stretch of WAC play makes its way back to Seattle next week as the Redhawks return home to host a pair of games. The homestead begins Wednesday, Jan. 26 at Climate Pledge Arena as Seattle U takes on Stephen F. Austin at 7 p.m. On Saturday, second-place Sam Houston State comes to town for a 1 p.m. tip-off at the Redhawk Center. Tickets for both games are available online at goseattleu.com/tix or by calling the box office at 206-398-GOSU.
