Yeo Tabbed Crossroads Player Of The Week
MISHAWAKA – The Crossroads League named Clay Yeo as Player of the Week Monday after the sophomore guard continued his high-level play in a pair of Bethel College men’s basketball road wins.
Yeo averaged 25.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steal per game, while sinking 63 percent from the field on 17-of-27 attempts.
Yeo opened up the week helping his No. 8 ranked Pilots (19-3, 7-3 CL) to a 70-50 victory at Taylor University on January 20 scoring a career-tying 31 points to go along with 14 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals.
The Bourbon, Indiana native capped it off with 19 points and the game-deciding three-pointer in the closing seconds to upset No. 1 Indiana Wesleyan University 88-85.
For the week, the Valparaiso University transfer shot a perfect 10-of-10 from the free throw line and 6-of-10 from beyond the arc (60 percent).
Yeo currently leads the Crossroads League in scoring knocking in 21.8 points per contest, good for 12th in the nation, as well as ranking 11th in three-point field goal percentage (48 percent).
Yeo has scored in double-figures in every game for Bethel hitting the 31-point mark four times.
The Crossroads League Player of the Week honor is the second for Yeo (Nov. 17), who follows Bethel College senior Matt Schauss as the second-straight Pilot men’s basketball student-athlete to earn the honor.
Yeo and the Pilots (19-3, 7-3 CL) will look to build on their four-game win streak when they host local foe Goshen College (13-9, 6-4 CL) Tuesday at 7:00 pm.
