SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Portland point guard Joel Foxwell was named the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week on Monday after tying a program record with 15 assists in an 88-78 win against Kent State. Foxwell has now taken home the weekly honor three times in the first six weeks of the season.
The Melbourne, Australia native added 11 points and three steals in the game as Portland snapped Kent State's nine-game winning streak. The 15 assists matched the program record established by fellow Aussie Tyler Robertson in a Dec. 10, 2022 home win against New Orleans.
