MORAGA, Calif. -- After averaging 16 points and connecting on nearly half of his long range shot attempts in the SMC basketball team's three victories last week, sophomore forward Calvin Hermanson was named the SMC Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week.
A native of Lake Oswego, Ore., Hermanson helped the Gaels post convincing victories over Utah Valley, BYU and San Diego to run their record to a sparkling 13-1 on the season and a perfect 4-0 against West Coast Conference competition.
He poured in 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the highly anticipated showdown against BYU, including an impressive 5-for-7 showing from behind the 3-point arc. Hermanson followed that performance by connecting on 57 percent of his field goal attempts in just 22 minutes in the 33-point win over the Toreros.
Saint Mary's returns to action Thursday when it travels to Southern California for games at Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine. The Gaels face LMU Thursday at 7 p.m. in a game that will be streamed live online at SMCGaels.com.
SMC returns home on Thursday, Jan. 14 when it hosts Pacific in an 8 p.m. game in McKeon Pavilion. Single game, group and specially priced team package tickets are available online at SMCGaels.com or by calling the SMC Athletic Ticket Office at (925) 631-GoTx (4689) during weekday business hours.
