January 22, 2008 Lacey, WA – Jake Linton was named Great Northwest Athletic Conference co-Player-of-the-Week for his performance on the hardwood last week. Linton helped lead the Saints to a pair of wins including a victory over defending GNAC co-champion Seattle University. He took just 11 shots, but helped produce 59 points in an 81-52 win against Montana State Billings and an 88-77 win over Seattle U. Linton made seven of 11 shots, including going six for eight from behind the arc and was a perfect 16-16 at the foul line. In addition to his 36 points, he added 11 assists and six steals with just two turnovers. “It is a nice honor to see Jake get GNAC Player-of-the-Week. He was instrumental in us getting two conference wins last week and being tied for second in the conference at this point,” said head coach Keith Cooper. “He played very focused and efficient Saturday night and did a great job both nights of running the team. Good players put up good numbers, but great players make their teammates better and Jake is a perfect example of a great player.”
