MICHAEL
REICH
Colorado College
Senior | Forward | Rolling Hills, CA / The Chadwick School
Colorado
College senior forward Michael Reich is the Association
of Division III Independents Men's Basketball Player of the Week for
the second time this season, after he scored 39 points, including the
go-ahead three-pointer with 14 seconds left in the game, as the Tigers
upended Division II Western State College, 59-57 on February 18. It
was the only game of the week for CC (8-15). Reich added a career-high
16 rebounds to complete his sixth double-double of the year.
For the first time in his career, he had a double-double in just one
half, as he scored 16 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in the opening
frame. Reich's 39 points were a career-best against a Division II opponent
and is second only to his 43-point performance against St. Lawrence
University earlier this season. He was 13-of-25 from the field, including
a season-high five three-pointers (5-8), for 62.5 percent. He also converted
8-of-10 free-throws
.
Western State led 51-41 with seven minutes remaining, but Reich scored
10 points over the next six minutes to help CC forge a 55-55 tie with
1:02 remaining, before hitting the game-winner. Reich has already set
personal single-season bests with 530 points and 158 rebounds.
Colorado sweeps the weekly independent men’s and women’s
awards for the second time this season.

her season high with 19 rebounds to lead CC to a 63-59 victory over fellow

place in the 2005 Pikes Peak Challenge.
Udall, who recorded her 13th double-double of the season, had 16 points
and 10 rebounds in the second half as CC built an 18-point lead with 10:12
to play. Dallas cut the lead to four points with 1:13 remaining, but Udall
grabbed an offensive rebound and made two free throws with 26 seconds
left to help the Tigers put the game away.
Udall opened the week by seizing 16 rebounds and nine points in a 67-44
loss to independent Chapman University on Friday, February 18. Udall has
recorded double-figure rebounds in 18 of 22 games this season. The 5-foot-11
