Brandon Laryea, of the men’s basketball team, is the UNB REDS/Monks & Jonesie male Athlete of the Week.
The fourth-year forward played a big role in a couple of crucial REDS wins over the Memorial Sea-Hawks.
In Friday’s 71-64 victory, Laryea recorded a double-double with 12 points and 20 rebounds. He also dished out six assists.
On Saturday, in a 76-69 victory, he scored a dozen points and contributed eight rebounds and four assists.
“Brandon was a key factor for our team in both wins this weekend,” said REDS’ head coach Joe Salerno. “He has a unique ability to really impact the game on both sides of the ball which makes him vital to our team's success. Having the responsibility of defending the opponent's best players night in and night out is no easy task. Brandon handled that with flying colours this weekend while still contributing in other ways."
Laryea and his teammates see their next action at UPEI on Friday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00pm.
