For the week, Seesholtz shot 57.9 percent from the field (11-for-19), 57.1 percent from three-point range (4-for-7), and 77.8 percent from the free throw line (7-for-9). He also recorded two assists and two steals.
On the season, Seesholtz is averaging 13.4 points and a team-high 8.8 rebounds per game. He has also tallied four assists, one blocked shot, and nine steals.
MVNU is currently 5-0 overall. The Cougars will return to action on Tuesday when the team will host Ohio Valley (W.V.) College in a non-conference game at 7:30 p.m.
