Garcia named NAC student-athlete of the week
The Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) named Dominican University’s Jose Garcia, a 6’2” junior guard, the men’s basketball student-of-week. Garcia guided the Stars to a 74-65 win over Eureka College on Wednesday, January 3. Garcia scored a game-high 19 points to lift the Stars back to .500 at 5-5 overall with the non-conference win over the Red Devils. Garcia also added three rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal in the Stars’ victory.
The Kenosha native is the Stars’ second-leading scorer, averaging 12.8 points per game in the Stars’ ten games this season, shooting 43.3 percent from the field (39-90) and a team-best 45.8 percent from three-point range (22-48).
“As a student I wanted an intimate community. As an aspiring journalist I wanted a big city. Dominican gave me both—and so much more.”
