WESTERVILLE, Ohio – Mount Union sophomore
Chance Casenhiser (Uniontown / Lake) has been named the Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week (12/22).
Casenhiser helped lead the Purple Raiders to a pair of OAC wins last week and improve to 11-0 on the season and set a new mark for the best start in program history. Casenhiser scored 19 points and had four assists in Tuesday night's 87-68 win over Baldwin Wallace, then he followed that performance up with another 19-point performance in Saturday's 73-71 win over Ohio Northern.
This is the first time this season and in his career that Casenhiser has won the award.
