The GoBonnies.com Student-Athletes of the Week presented by CPL are men's basketball redshirt senior
Daryl Banks III and women's track freshman
Meghan Lex.
Banks poured in 29 points in Friday's win over Saint Joseph's, going 9-for-13 from the floor and 7-for-11 from 3-point land.
It was his best performance of the season as he also handed out five assists. His seven threes tied a career-high he first set last year vs. Bowling Green.Â
The fifth-year guard from Somerset, N.J. now has over 1,500 career points and 234 3-pointers entering Tuesday's game.
Lex had an outstanding indoor track debut in Bona's season-opener at RIT on Friday night. She immediately made a mark in the program record book as she set the school record in the mile and also jumped to second all-time in the 800 meters.Â
Lex established a new school record in the mile with a winning time of 5:18.92 in the RIT Invitational. She beat out 24 other competitors and crossed the finish line over a second quicker than second-place finisher Amelia Gilbert of RIT (5:20.27) as she claimed victory. She also crushed the previous Bona record mark of 5:25.29 set two years ago byÂ
Amberlee Robertson at Atlantic 10 Championships.
The New Jersey native also ran a strong time in the 800 meters as she finished second out of 30 runners with an effort of 2:28.25. She was less than a second off the winning mark of 2:27.67 by Mia Vizcaino of Brockport.
