Reising earns Mid-Con Player of the Week--The Oakland Press

BRIEFS

Oakland freshman Hanna Reising (Peoria, Ill.) was named the Mid-Continent Conference women’s basketball Player of the Week. The honor comes on the heels of two consecutive 20-plus point performances by the Golden Grizzlies rookie.
Reising tallied 25 points to lead all players in a 90-68 OU loss at UW-Green Bay last Wednesday and followed that performance with 23 points to lead the Golden Grizzlies in a 74-69 loss to Florida State on Sunday. She drained seven 3-pointers against the Seminoles to account for 21 of her 23 points.
Reising leads the Mid-Con in several categories, including scoring (20.7), field goal percentage (.759) and 3-point field goals made (14 total, 4.67 average).

LOCAL AND WIRE REPORTS


PITTSBURGH — Playing in Pittsburgh for the fourth time in six days, Oakland’s men’s basketball team used a stout defensive effort and the inside game of Shawn Hopes to grind out a 67-53 win Wednesday night over Duquesne.
Vova Severovas led all players with 22 points, with Hopes adding 20 to lead Oakland to the victory.
Erik Kangas hit a pair of 3-point shots in a minute and a half span that pushed Oakland into a 24-16 lead late in the first half. With the Golden Grizzlies defense putting the clamps on Duquesne, Oakland closed out the half with six more points, pulling out to a 30-16 halftime lead on a pair of free throws by Hopes with 31 seconds left and completing a 12-point half. Duquesne’s 16 points in the half were the fewest allowed by Oakland this season
Duquesne opened the second half with a 5-2 spurt that cut the OU lead to 11 points, but Hopes put in six points in the first four minutes to keep the Oakland lead intact.
Kangas finished with 12 points on four 3-pointers, while Johnathon Jones added 10 points and five assists for the Golden Grizzlies.
Oakland is back in action Saturday at Michigan State.
