MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Oglethorpe University junior forward Andrew Steioff has been named to the D3hoops.com men’s basketball Team-of-the-Week for games played from January 24 through January 30.
Steioff is one of only five men’s players
nationally selected for the award bestowed by D3hoops.com, the
premiere national news source for Division III men’s and
women’s basketball.
Steioff had a perfect weekend to help guide Oglethorpe to
back-to-back wins over Millsaps and Hendrix. On Friday, he
connected on all ten of his field goal attempts to finish with a
team-high 20 points to go along with 5 rebounds, 3 assists and
three blocks. He picked up where he left off on Sunday, making all
seven of his attempts from the field to finish with 16 points, 3
rebounds, 3 blocks and one assist.
For the weekend Steioff was 17 of 17 from the field while
averaging 18 points per game, 4 rebounds per game, 3 blocks per
game and 2 assists per game. He can challenge the NCAA record of 24
consecutive made field goals over the course of multiple games when
the Petrels face Rhodes College on Friday.
At 8-3 in league play Oglethorpe is currently tied for second place
in the SCAC East standings amongst teams who can qualify for a
postseason berth. The Petrels are back in action for their final
two home games of the season this weekend with Rhodes College at
8:00 p.m. (Homecoming) on Friday and Birmingham-Southern (16-1
overall record) at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.
