In the Lions 2-0 week, senior guard Matt Ashcroft produced two of his best performances so far this season. In the non-conference win over Misericordia, Ashcroft finished just one 3-pointer short of tying the single-game record of nine. On the night he was 8-for-12 from behind the arc and 9-for-14 from the field. At the line he was 3-for-5. He also managed five boards and four assists. Against Penn State Berks on Saturday, he added 13 more points to his cause as well as four more rebounds and three more assists. To date, Ashcroft ranks second in the conference in scoring (19.8 ppg) but is the Commonwealth's top 3-point shooter having made 26 so far this season.
