A Cal State Fullerton Titan is the Big West Conference men’s basketball Player of the Week. Junior guard Kwame Vaughn took the honor after impressive back-to-back efforts in wins over Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara.

Vaughn, who is the second highest scorer on the team, averaging 16.2 points per game, had a well-rounded performance in the first game against the Cal Poly Mustangs in which he was three rebounds and one assist away from an elusive triple-double. He scored 14 points as the Titans went on to a blowout victory against Cal Poly, 83-61.

In the second game against UCSB, Vaughn exploded for 37 points against the Gauchos in leading Fullerton to a 99-86 victory. He also added six rebounds and six assists while shooting a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line.

Both efforts come a week after Vaughn’s game-winning layup against Cal State Northridge Jan. 26, a game where he scored 15 points. Vaughn has been an efficient shooter this season, averaging nearly 50 percent from the field so far and over 80 percent from the line.

Vaughn’s Player of the Week honor is the first such award to a Titan this season.  Fullerton will attempt to ride this two-game streak as they take on UC Irvine.
