A native of Sydney, Australia, Naar averaged 18.0 points and 6.0 assists in the team's two victories and shot an impressive 61.9 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from behind the 3-point arc.
The Gaels improved their record to 17-2 on the season and 8-1 against West Coast Conference competition. SMC finished the first half of the league schedule in first place and was just a few votes away from a top 25 national ranking by the Associated Press and USA Today.
