Defensive Player of the Week: Lorence Dela Cruz, Carroll (Mont.)
Dela Cruz, a senior guard from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, was selected as the Defensive Player of the Week.
He was simply phenomenal in Carroll’s (Mont.) two lopsided home victories over Bismarck State (N.D.) and Dickinson State (N.D.). The senior came away with six steals in both games, helping spark extended runs that carried the Saints in both wins.
Dela Cruz now leads Carroll with 27 total steals this season, surpassing FC’s 3-time Defensive Player-of-the-Week Kellen Harrison.
This is Dela Cruz’s third career Erck Hotels / Frontier Conference Player of the Week award.
