CLARION’S VAUGHNS NAMED PSAC-WEST CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEK

            Terrance Vaughns (Uniontown/Uniontown), a senior guard on the Clarion University men’s basketball team, is the PSAC-West Co-Player of the Week for the week ending with games Feb. 18.

            Vaughns helped the Golden Eagles (13-11 overall, 5-5 PSAC-West) keep their playoff hopes alive by leading them to a 2-0 week with wins at Slippery Rock (78-69) Wednesday and home over California (88-74) Saturday. He hit 55.6 percent (10 of 18) of his field goals, went 63.6 percent (7-11) from 3-point land and canned 19 of 20 free throws while averaging 23.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game during the week.

            Terrance’s top performance was Saturday against Cal when he scored a career-high 30 points while going 5 of 6 from 3-point range. He added 16 points in the win over Slippery Rock Wednesday while going 10-for-10 from the free-throw line in the game.

            Vaughns is just six points shy of 1,300 in his career, which would make him the 13^th player in school history to record that milestone. Wednesday at Slippery Rock, he became just the sixth player in school history to record at least 1,200 career points and 250 career assists (he has 253).

            NOTES – Vaughns is the second Golden Eagle to earn Player of the Week honors this week joining Ricky Henderson, who was POW Jan. 9 … This is the third time in his career Vaughns, who was a second team PSAC-West selection last year, has been named Player of the Week. He was also POW during the same week last year … Vaughns shared the award with Edinboro’s Curtis Ingram.
