January 16, 2007 Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s University men’s basketball point guard Jake Linton was named as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference co-Player of the Week for his efforts on the court. Linton helped led the Saints to two road victories against Central Washington and Seattle U. Linton scored a game high 21 points against the Wildcats and had 20 points at Seattle hitting 6 of 12 from the field and making 7 of 8 free throws. “This is a good honor for Jake. He could have gotten it the week before and Brendan could have gotten it this week. It’s nice to have two players both worthy of honors like this,” said head coach Keith Cooper. “Jake’s competitiveness and composure are a large reason why we’re able to win close games down the stretch. The last three games our late game composure has been excellent, Jake as point guard is primarily responsible for that.” Linton shares the honor with Carl Arts from Alaska Anchorage. Arts scored a career high 27 points with 10 rebounds and three steals as the Seawolves defeated Northwest Nazarene.
