MORAGA, Calif. — Men's basketball forward Malik Fitts has been named the Saint Mary's Student-Athlete of the Week after posting back-to-back double-doubles in the Gaels' two wins last week.
Against No. 15 Utah State, the redshirt junior scored a season-high 21 points while also grabbing 11 boards in the team's impressive seven-point upset over the Aggies. Fitts played 38 minutes in the contest and was 7-of-10 from the field and 5-of-6 from the charity stripe.
Fitts earned his third double-double of the year and second in as many games on Sunday versus Omaha as he tallied 12 points while tying his season-high with 13 rebounds.
