ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lebanon Valley senior
Collin Jones was honored by the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) office for the third time this year as the men's basketball MAC Commonwealth Player of the Week in a release on Monday.
Jones had another pair of double-doubles to lead the Dutchmen to a 1-1 week with 43 points and 27 rebounds. He has now recorded double-doubles in the last six games. The senior started the week with game-highs of 24 points and 13 rebounds in a tough 85-76 road defeat at Albright. Jones led a second half comeback scoring 11 of his points in an eight-minute span as the Dutchmen turned a 21-point deficit into a four-point game with seven minutes left. Jones then powered the Dutchmen to an overtime win over Stevenson on Saturday with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Jones, who had two points in the first half, took over in the overtime period knocking down a pair of threes to put up six with two minutes left of the 81-73 win.
The weekly award is the seventh of his career and third of the season.
LVC will be back in action on Wednesday with a big road game at Hood College. Tipoff is slated for 6 p.m. in Frederick, Maryland.
