STERLING, Va. -- Fresh off a pair of huge, home wins over 11th-ranked Trinity University and Southwestern University to stay alive for a berth in the SCAC Tournament, senior guard \#Chad Songy\# was named to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week for the first time of his stellar four-year career.

Complementing a breakout performance from senior teammate Chris Sanders, Songy became just the second player in school history to go for back-to-back 100-assist seasons, dishing out 15 dimes against one turnover.  Head coach Tim Wise is the only other Major to go for back-to-back 100-assist seasons, doing it three consecutive years with 158, 156 and 149 assists during the 1986-88 seasons.

Songy leads the league this season with 111 assists against 59 turnovers, averaging 4.8 apg and just under a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio.  Last season, he ranked 15th in all of Division III in assist-to-turnovers at 2.47.

In two starts on the weekend, the Lafayette, La., native averaged 15.5 points, 7.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds-per-game to help guide the Majors to a pair of wins.  He knocked down 7-of-14 3-pointers in passing Daniel Waguespack for 4th all-time on the career 3-pointers list with 135 and also shot 44 percent from the floor.

Songy also became just the fourth Major ever to be named to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week in its 12-year existence, following Waguespack in 2000 and former teammate Edrick Montgomery who was named to the team of the week twice last season.
