Valparaiso University men's basketball freshman All Wright (Durango, Mexico / Link Year) was recognized by the Missouri Valley Conference on Monday as he was named the league's Freshman of the Week for this play over the last two games.
 
After scoring in double figures just once in his first five games, Wright tallied double figures in both contests this week. He posted a season-best 13 points in Wednesday's win over Northern Illinois, draining three of his four 3-point attempts. He followed that by tallying 10 in Friday's game at undefeated DePaul. Wright went 5-of-10 from the floor in each contest this week.
 
This marks the second straight week a Beacon was tabbed the league's Freshman of the Week as Justus McNair earned the honors last week. Valpo has had a proclivity for garnering rookie of the week laurels during Roger Powell Jr.'s time leading the program as this marks Valpo's eighth such award since the start of the 2023-24 season.
