NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana men's basketball standout Jalen David is a repeat winner as Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week.David, a 6-foot-4 guard/forward from Mount Vernon, N.Y., and a former Mount Vernon High School and Moberly Area (Mo.) Community College standout, was the GCAC's honoree for Jan. 29-Feb. 4 after scoring 20 points and grabbing six rebounds in the only Gold Rush game of the week, a 90-72 home victory against SUNO. It was the fourth time in six games that David reached 20 points.
XULA's archives of Gold Rush GCAC weekly winners goes back only to the 2006-07 season. David is the second Gold Rush player during that time to win GCAC awards in consecutive weeks; Anthony Simmons did it January 2012.
The Gold Rush will travel to SUNO for a 7:30 p.m. game Monday (Lundi Gras), then play host to Dillard at 5 p.m. Feb. 17 in the opening game of the Crosstown Classic presented by Raising Cane's at XULA's Convocation Center.
Persons with information about XULA's GCAC Player of the Week winners from 1981-82 through 2004-05 should send email to athletics@xula.edu.
