ROCK HILL, S.C. - On the heels of a career-high scoring effort in the win over GRU Augusta, senior standout Chandler Hash has been named the South Atlantic Conference men's basketball Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office Tuesday morning.

Hash averaged 30 points in two contests over the weekend, pouring in a career-high 42 points in the Trojans' 91-86 road win at GRU Augusta on Sunday, which gave Anderson its second straight win to start the season. Hash was 10-of-19 from the field, including 5-of-7 from beyond the arc and was 17-of-18 from the line.

The left-handed guard's scoring output equaled the sixth-highest tally in South Atlantic Conference history, and was the most points scored by a Trojan since former standout Denzail Jones connected for 50 points in the semifinals of the 2012 SAC Tournament. Hash's 17 free throws on the day also tied two other players for the fifth-most in league history.

"The honor is well-deserved," said Anderson head coach Jason Taylor. "We are very proud of him. He played well and helped get us two team wins."

The Greer, S.C., native also dropped in 18 points in AU's season-opening 61-60 win over Lander on Saturday, as the Trojans won back-to-back games to start the season for the first time since the 2009-10 squad won four straight and eight of its first nine contests to open the season.

Hash averaged 39.5 minutes over the two-game span, going 15-of-36 (41.7%) from the field, including 9-of-20 (45%) from 3-point range and 21-of-22 (95.5%) from the line. He also averaged 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals in the two wins. Hash leads the conference with his 30.0 points per game average ans is fourth in the league in steals and fifth in assists.

Anderson travels to Due West, S.C. tonight to face longtime rival Erskine. Tip-off versus the Flying Fleet is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Belk Arena.
