AUSTIN, Texas - Concordia Texas guard Joey Ramirez has been named the SCAC Offensive Player of the Week, the league's office announced on Monday. The senior, who is first in the nation with 28.2 ppg, turned in two exceptional performances last week.

Ramirez averaged 34.5 ppg, 11.0 rbg, 6.0 apg, and 2.5 spg in a pair of wins for Concordia Texas. In a 122-102 triumph over Hardin-Simmons, Ramirez earned a career-high 44 points to go along with season-highs of 13 rebounds & five steals.

The 44 points tied for the fourth most in program history and was the most since he scored 41 last season in February. In a 108-91 victory over Huston-Tillotson, Ramirez totaled 25 points, nine rebounds, and a season-high seven assists.
