ATLANTA, Ga. -- Covenant men's basketball junior Noah Pence won the CCS Player of the Week, announced the conference on Monday.

The honor is Pence's first of his career.

Pence, a junior from Murfreesboro, Tenn., had as impressive an opening stanza as you will see, averaging 36.5 points per game on 63.6 percent from the field in the Scots' trip to Greenville last weekend. He highlighted that stretch with a 44-point performance against Grinnell, the second-best output by a player in program history.

For the season, Pence, along with those initial averages, is adding 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 42.9 percent from distance.

Pence and the Scots play later tonight at Chattanooga in an exhibition at McKenzie Arena.
