Senior center Jay Lee anchored Arizona Christian in the paint, earning Men’s Defensive Player of the Week after dominating the glass in both Firestorm victories. Lee averaged 11.5 rebounds per game, including 14 defensive boards, and finished one rebound shy of posting double-doubles in both contests.
In ACU’s win over No. 12 College of Idaho, Lee recorded 17 points and 14 rebounds, playing a pivotal role in the team’s late comeback and overtime push. He added nine rebounds and 12 points earlier in the week against Eastern Oregon.
Lee’s presence at both rims was crucial, finishing the week with 23 total rebounds, two steals, and one block, while shooting 62.5% from the field.
