Sophomore point guard Oresti Nitsios (Victoria, Australia) and freshman David Naylor (Melbourne, Australia) were both named to the Commissioner’s List of Outstanding Achievement for the first time.

Nitsios started off the season on a steady note as he averaged 10.7 points and 2.0 assists in just three games.  The sophomore notched a .524 field goal percentage (11-21) and a 556 three-point percentage, shooting 5-of-9 from beyond the arc.  Nitsios also finish a perfect 5-of-5 (1.000) from the free-throw line.

The Commissioner’s List of Outstanding Achievement is designed to recognize the top athletic performers at each SSC member institution in a given calendar month.  Every month, each SSC member institution may nominate student-athletes in each conference-sponsored sport who meet predetermined criteria during athletic events played during that month.  Sports are recognized during the traditional championship segment for that sport.
