SEWANEE, Ga. - After posting a pair of conference road wins over Austin and Hendrix this past weekend to improve to 6-1 in SCAC play and 11-6 overall, junior forward Edrick Montgomery was named the SCAC Player of the Week – the second consecutive weekly accolade for Millsaps (Rodney Rogan).

Montgomery chipped in two solid games this past weekend for the Majors en route to the team's seventh win in eight games and fifth road win in six games.

"It's an honor to receive this award and it's the first of my Millsaps career," Montgomery said. "My teammates did a good job getting me the ball this weekend, but more importantly, we picked up a pair of road wins."

Montgomery posted his third double-double of the year in Friday night's 72-63 win at Austin College, going 9 of 15 from the floor for 25 points and 12 rebounds. He followed that up with a 17-point, nine-rebound performance on Sunday to top Hendrix College 78-73.

For the weekend, Montgomery averaged 21.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.0 steals per game. He made 53.8 percent of his attempts from the field (14-of-26).

For the season, Montgomery is leading the SCAC in scoring, averaging 17.5 points per game. He is second in the league in rebounding (8.9 per game), eighth in steals (1.65 per game), third in blocks (1.00 per game) and fourth in field goal percentage (57 percent).
