Schmidt Selected As ECC Player of the Week
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (Feb. 16, 2009) - The East Coast Conference released its weekly men's basketball report Monday afternoon, and C.W. Post guard Jonathan Schmidt (Centereach, N.Y.) received Player of the Week accolades following a 2-0 week for the Pioneers.
It is the third Player of the Week honor this season for Schmidt, and the fifth time for a Pioneer player.
The senior led the undefeated and second-ranked Pioneers to a 2-0 week and the clinching of an ECC Regular Season title, scoring just one point off his career high (34) with a 33-point effort against Bridgeport in a matchup of the two top teams in the ECC. Against Concordia, Schmidt's 22-point performance paced the Pioneers, and his eight assists were a game-high as well.
Schmidt and the Pioneers are back in action on Wednesday, as they travel to neighboring NYIT for a 7:15 match-up.
