Men's Student-Athlete of the Week - Vinnie McGhee, Basketball

Senior guard Vinnie McGhee helped the Matadors to a 1-1 week in games against Pacific and UC Davis and the season’s first conference win at home this season. After scoring six points against the Pacific Tigers in Thursday’s loss, McGhee rebounded in a big way by putting up his first double-figure scoring effort since Northridge’s victory at Pepperdine on December 10.

On Saturday night against the UC Davis Aggies, the Oakland, Calif., native shot 5-of-8 from the field (62.5 percent), including 2-of-4 from beyond the arc to lead the Matadors with 16 points in 22 minutes off the bench. McGhee knocked down all four of his free throw attempts in the game’s final minute to give Northridge the cushion it would need to close out the contest.

For the season, the senior is averaging 8.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
