RICHARDSON, Texas (Jan. 10) – Central Oklahoma swept Lone Star Conference North Division Player of the Week accolades Monday, with Dauntae Williams taking the offensive award for the fourth consecutive time and Jarrod McDaniel claiming the defensive honor.

Williams led the No. 18-ranked Bronchos to a 3-0 record in their return to action after a 10-day break, averaging 23.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 steals a game while shooting 53.3 percent from the field and 64.7 percent from 3-point range.

The 6-foot-4 senior guard from Missouri City, Texas had 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in a 93-72 romp over Arkansas-Fort Smith, 23 points with six 3-pointers in a 60-57 win over Tarleton State and 24 points along with a career-high 15 rebounds in a 68-61 victory over No. 21 Midwestern State.

UCO players have taken the North Division offensive award all seven times this season, with Williams winning in five times.

McDaniel keyed the Bronchos' defensive efforts in their three wins while averaging 3.8 assists, 3.3 points and 2.3 steals a game.

The 5-10 junior guard had five assists and three steals in the UA-Fort Smith rout, five assists and three steals against Tarleton and seven points, one assist and one steal against the Mustangs. McDaniel helped hold MSU star and league scoring leader Chris Hagan to 4-of-11 shooting from the field in an 18-point outing – six points below his average – and he also made 7-of-8 free throws in the final 2:36 to help seal the win.

UCO, 14-2 on the year, begins its quest for a fourth straight LSC North Division title Wednesday at Southwestern Oklahoma. The Bronchos return home Saturday to host Cameron at 7 p.m.
