ARLINGTON, TexasMatthew-Alexander Moncrieffe was named University Credit Union Western Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player and Newcomer of the Week, for the game week ending on Saturday, Jan. 11. This marks Moncrieffe's first WAC Player of the Week honor and his second WAC Newcomer of the Week award.

Moncrieffe notched his WAC-leading eighth double-double of the season in Seattle U's lone game of the week, collecting 23 points and 11 rebounds in the Redhawks' 66-64 win over Abilene Christian. The graduate forward hit 7-of-10 from the field and 9-of-13 free throws to match his career high in points. No bucket was bigger than his final one, a driving layup with four seconds remaining that would become the game-winner as the Wildcats final attempt rimmed out. Moncrieffe's 11 boards included five on the offensive end. He also added one block to his line.

The Toronto, Ontario, Canada native now ranks eighth nationally in double doubles and sixth in the nation in rebounds (10.9 per game).

Seattle U remains at home for its next two WAC games, beginning Thursday, Jan. 16 versus Utah Tech. Tip off from the Redhawk Center is set for 7 p.m. and will air on ESPN+. Tickets for the game can be purchased online at goseattleu.com/tix, or by contacting the Seattle U Athletics Ticket Office at 206-398-GOSU or seattleutickets@seattleu.edu.
