Men's Basketball freshman Jaren Yang has been named Gordon Athlete of the Week after earning a Commonwealth Coast Conference award on Monday. 

The speedy guard scored 12 points, dished out five assists and added one rebound in the Scots' 67-55 victory over host Worcester State to open 2015.  Yang was perfect from the field, knocking down all three of his field goal attempts from behind the three-point arc.  He also went 3-of-5 from the free-throw line.The 12 points was the second highest total Yang was produced of his young career, finishing just one point shy of the 13 he scored in the team's second game at Rochester. With a solid four-game stretch of assists, the freshman is now fourth in the conference with four assists per game and the only underclassman in the top five.
