Back-to-Back 20-Point Outings Lift Grijalva to GNAC Player of the Week Honors

WINTHROP, Mass. – Saints senior Ryan Grijalva (Stratham, N.H.) averaged 23.5 points while shooting 56 percent from the floor, helping the Saints to a pair of wins and securing the Great Northeast Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors, as announced by the GNAC Office on Jan. 29.

The senior guard clinches his first-ever conference Player of the Week honors in a season of consistency for the Saints, with double-digit scoring in all but one game this season and seven games with at least 20 points.

Grijalva's week begun with 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting, to go along with six rebounds and five assists in a 67-66 win against Regis on Jan. 24. He followed up that performance with a career-high 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting, with seven rebounds and four assists in an 83-72 win at Dean on Jan. 28.

The Saints have won three straight games and four of their last five with six games to go in the regular season. The week gets started with a Jan. 30 game against Albertus Magnus in a rematch of last year's GNAC Semifinals and concludes on Feb. 3 with a trip to Elms.
