HELENA, Mont. — Carroll College sophomore guard
Jovan Sljivancanin was named the Frontier Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week.
Sljivancanin helped the Saints go 2-0 this past weekend with victories over No. 18 Southern Oregon (79-58) and Eastern Oregon (89-72).
For the weekend, Sljivancanin averaged 22.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, two assists and 1.5 steals. He was 18 of 34 (53 percent) from the field including 6 of 10, 3-point field goals and 3 of 5 free throws. He scored a career-high 34 points against Southern Oregon on 14-for-19 shooting.
It's the second time in his career the 6-foot-5 guard from Belgrade, Serbia, has earned the award. He received the nod last season on Feb. 18 as well.
The Saints next play on Nov. 11 when they travel to College Place, Washington, to face Walla Walla.
