SAN MATEO, Calif. — After one of the biggest weeks of the season for Saint Mary's, the awards continue to pile up. Mitchell Saxen has been named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week and Aidan Mahaney wins his sixth-straight WCC Freshman of the Week award.
Saxen recorded back-to-back double-doubles as the Gaels won both WCC games this week, including an overtime thriller against No. 12 Gonzaga on Saturday night. Against USF, Saxen put up a 10/10 game, but followed that up with a 15-point, 11-rebound performance against the Bulldogs.
