Anthony Gabriel was selected the Freedom Conference Player of the Week.
For this first time in his four year career Anthony Gabriel was selected as the Freedom Conference Player of the Week by the conference office. Gabriel had excellent performances against both Misericordia and Manhattanville this past week, and is the third Colonel to receive the award this season.
Against the Cougars on Wednesday, the senior forward from Mechanicsburg, Pa. scored 16 points on only six shots from the floor. He also pulled down four rebounds and dished out five assists in the contest.
On Saturday, Gabriel had arguably his best performance of his career. He scored a career-high 26 points on 6-of-14 shooting from the floor and pulled down 12 rebounds for a double-double. More impressively, he hit on 14-of-15 free throw shots, and was a main reason for the Colonels resurrection from a 15 point second half deficit.
Over both games Gabriel averaged 21 points and eight rebounds, and hit on 87 percent of his free throws.
