MATUSZEWSKI NAMED
CCAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK
For Immediate Release
February 16, 2005
University
of St. Francis senior guard Allen Matuszewski
(Providence Catholic H.S./Shorewood, IL)
has been named the Chicagoland Collegiate
Athletic Conference Player of the Week
for the seven-day period ending February
13, 2005.
Matuszewski gained the recognition
after authoring a career-high six three-point
baskets en route to team-high scoring
honors against both Olivet Nazarene University
(Feb. 8) and Purdue University-Calumet,
IN (Feb. 12) last week. In USF’s
79-66 loss to Olivet Nazarene, Matuszewski
registered a career-high 20 points on
6-of-11 shooting from long range. Four
nights later in a 69-55 victory over Purdue-Calumet,
he was perfect from the field with all
six shots coming from from three-point
territory in an 18-point performance.
For the two games, Matuszewski
shot .706 from three-point range (12 of
17) with only one other attempt coming
from inside the arc. He also netted a
pair of free throws in averaging 19.0
points per game.
The pair of efforts marked the first time
in his career that Matuszewski
has scored in double figures in back-to-back
games. Over the past six games, he has
averaged 12.3 points per contest and has
produced 11 or more points in four of
those affairs.
For the season, Matuszewski leads
the team in three-point shooting with
his .424 mark and ranks second behind
senior forward Brandon Krug (Dwight
H.S./Dwight, IL) in total three-pointers
with 42. Krug has 66.
All but four of Matuszewski’s
46 field goals have come from long range,
leading to his 4.8 scoring average on
the season.
