MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (1-17-2008) - Connor Gregg, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University men’s basketball team, has been selected as the American Mideast Conference Player of the Week for his performance in games played during the week of January 7-13.

Gregg, a 6-foot-7 senior post from Bellville, Ohio, averaged 13.0 points and 11.5 rebounds as the Cougars posted a 2-0 record during the week. The former Clear Fork High School standout scored 11 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in an 83-54 conference victory over NAIA Division II No. 16 Cedarville University to start the week. Then, he registered 15 points, 11 rebounds, and three blocks in an 80-72 conference win over Wilberforce to close out the week.

On the season, Gregg is averaging 11.1 points and a team-high 8.0 rebounds while shooting 61.0 percent from the field (75-for-123). He is also shooting 77.1 percent from the free throw line (27-for-35) and is second on the team with 17 blocked shots. He has also moved into a tie for ninth place in school history with 65 career blocked shots.

MVNU is currently 14-2 overall and 2-1 in the AMC South Division. The Cougars, who are ranked fifth in the latest NAIA Division II poll, will return to action on Saturday when they will host Shawnee State University in an AMC South Division contest that will tip off at 7:30 p.m.
