UNA SWEEPS GSC EAST PLAYER OF THE WEEK
AWARDS
 Officials
with the Gulf South Conference Wednesday
recognized a pair of North Alabama
basketball players as the league’s men’s
and women’s players of the week. Thomas
Fraise and Amber Rutherford each received
the conference honor, giving the Lions the
sweep for the week.
Fraise, a 6-6, 300-pound center from New

Casey Holt took home the honors the first
two weeks of the season. He led the Lions
to a 2-1 week versus GSC West Division
foes, averaging 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds
in 27.3 minutes. He also shot 54.3 percent
from the floor and 80.0 percent
(eight-of-10) from three-point range.
The junior started the week scoring 17
points while grabbing six rebounds and
dishing out four assists in a 91-78 home
win over Delta State. Next, Fraise
recorded his second double-double of the
season behind 19 points and 12 rebounds in
a 77-63 road triumph over Southern
Arkansas. He capped the week, turning in
an 18-point effort thanks to a 5-for-6
effort from three-point range, while also
grabbing six boards in an 88-85 loss at
Harding.
Fraise is playing his first season for the
Lions who are 7-3 on the season. He
currently ranks 3rd on the team in scoring
(14.1ppg), 2nd in rebounding (6.8rpg), 1st
in 3-point FG% (63.2%) and 4th in FG%
(55.7%).
The Lions have three games before taking a
break for the Christmas holidays (Arkansas
