MORAGA, Calif. — The reigning WCC Player of the Year and WCC Tournament Most Outstanding Player,
Augustas Marciulionis, has yet another accolade to add to his impressive resume, being named the Shamrock Office Student-Athlete of the Week for the fifth time in his career. Marciulionis joins Jordan Ford, Logan Johnson and
Alex Ducas as the only five time men's basketball winners of this award.
Augustas Marciulionis had an offensive explosion of a week, scoring 38 in the Gaels two matchups on the road at USF and Oregon State. Against USF, Marciulionis dropped 20 in a full 40 minute performance, as the Gaels narrowly fell by one. He also had a team-high seven assists and just one turnover, and four steals defensively. Against the Beavs, Marciulionis truly stuffed the stat sheet. In the first half, he scored 16 of his 18 points, but then changed his role from scorer to playmaker in the second, with eight of his ten assists coming in the second frame. It was his second double-double and his first in WCC play this season. He also had four more steals moving to seventh all-time in program history with 132 for his career.
Goose and the Gaels will be back in action at home twice this week, taking on Santa Clara on Tuesday at 8 PM (ESPN2) and Washington State on Saturday at 7 PM (ESPNU).
OTHER NOMINEES: Kennedy Johnson (WBB), Zack Missigman (GOLF), Carlos Ramos Membrives (MTEN), Olivia Rook (WTEN), Ella Thurman (SB)
