Mike Schatzmann Selected to MAC Honor Roll in Men's Basketball

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. --- Elizabethtown College senior guard Mike Schatzmann (Paradise, PA/Pequea Valley) was named to the Middle Atlantic Conference men's basketball weekly Honor Roll for the week ending Dec. 2, the conference office announced Monday.

Schatzmann averaged 20.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game as the Blue Jays earned a pair of wins last week to match the best start in program history at 6-0.

He scored all of his game-high 23 points in the second half while playing with four fouls as the Blue Jays rallied for a 73-71 win over previous unbeaten University of Scranton on Wednesday night, hitting 6-of-7 attempts from three-point range while adding six rebounds and four steals.

On Saturday, Schatzmann tallied 17 points, five rebounds and four assists to lead Elizabethtown to a 105-52 victory at Lancaster Bible College, hitting 3-of-4 three-point attempts in the contest.

For the week, Schatzmann shot 14-for-19 (73.7 percent) from the field and 9-for-11 from three-point range for the Blue Jays. He ranks second on the team and in the Commonwealth Conference with 18.8 points per game, while leading the league with 17 three-pointers.

The Blue Jays will look for the first 7-0 start in program history on Wednesday night when local rival Millersville University (5-0 overall) visits Thompson Gymnasium for an 8:00 p.m. tip.
