BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University athletics has awarded basketball players Juliette Gauthier and Anthony Adger as players of the week. This is the second honor of this kind for Adger.
Gauthier was a top contributor on the court for women's basketball last week. On Thursday against UAB, Gauthier had a career-high 21 points and was 4-for-6 from beyond the arc. The freshman also added nine rebounds and two assists in the Owls' losing effort against the Blazers. On Saturday, Gauthier tallied 12 points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal against Middle Tennessee. The 6-1 forward from Blainville, Quebec shot 62.5 percent from the field and 60 percent from beyond the arc in the Owls' first two Conference USA games of the season.
Adger delivered outstanding performances after losing another player on the squad due to injury. On Thursday, Adger was the player behind a game-high 18 points, three rebounds and three assists against UAB. The Anderson, South Carolina native continued to power the FAU offense on Saturday at Middle Tennessee, as he scored a career-high 33 points and added four rebounds, two steals and forced several turnovers on defense. His performance helped propel the Owls to a 63-56 victory over the Blue Raiders, which snapped a 12-game losing streak to Middle Tennessee. The senior guard shot .516 from the floor last week.
Gauthier and the women's basketball team will travel to Norfolk, Virginia to take on the Old Dominion Monarchs on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The Owls will return home for the Red Out game against Marshall on Thursday, Jan. 17. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. and the game can be watched on CUSA.TV.
Men's basketball is on its best conference start in five years and will look to keep the momentum rolling against Old Dominion on Thursday at 7 p.m. It will be Paradise Night at the Burrow for the first home C-USA matchup of the season. The game will be aired on ESPN3.
