ARLINGTON, Texas – Following a record-setting performance in the Redhawks' final game before the holiday break, Cameron Tyson was named TicketSmarter Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the game week ending on Sunday, Dec. 24. This marks Tyson's first such honor this season and the third of his career.
Tyson poured in a season-high 33 points and added eight rebounds to lead Seattle U to its highest NET-ranked win of the season, a 79-73 overtime victory over Louisiana Tech on Dec. 20 in Seattle. Along the way, Tyson made personal history as his third three pointer of the night eclipsed Seattle U's previous career record of 239, held by Aaron Waite (1988-92), who was in attendance to witness the moment firsthand.
Tyson finished the night with four three pointers (241 for his two-plus year career as a Redhawk). He also went a perfect 13-for-13 from the free throw line and scored the Redhawks final points of each period. Seattle U led 34-29 at the break over the then 66th NET ranked Bulldogs. LaTech flipped the score in the second half, but a pair of Tyson free throws sent the game to overtime. He went on to score seven of the Redhawks' 16 points in the extra frame.
