CUSA Player of the Week – Simeon Cottle, Kennesaw State – Jr. – G – College Park, Ga.
Cottle claims his third CUSA Player of the Week honor of the season after leading the Owls (11-7, 3-2 CUSA) to a 2-0 week.

In Thursday’s overtime win over the Bearkats, Cottle tallied 19 points with four assists and a perfect 8-8 from the charity stripe. He then finished with a team-high 25 points while going 3-6 from downtown in a tight 78-76 triumph over the Bulldogs to remain unbeaten at home (9-0).

He collected his first career double-double on 17 points and 10 boards against the Bearkats and converted a layup for the eventual game-winning bucket in overtime.
