Murray, Ky. --- Murray State’s Isaiah Canaan of Biloxi, Miss., earned Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Week honors in weekly voting by the league’s sports information directors.

Canaan, who has scored in double-figures in four of MSU’s six games this season, averaged 10.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game last week as the Racers won at FIU and topped Tennessee Wesleyan at home.

He shot 63 percent (7-of-11) of his field goal attempts and was perfect from 3-point range (3-of-3) and the free throw line (4-of-4) as the Racers improved to 5-1 on the season.

Canaan scored 12 points against TWC and had nine against FIU.

Other student-athletes nominated for the OVC award were, Shaun Pratl, Eastern Illinois; Marland Smith, Southeast Missouri; Robert Covington, Tennessee State.

The Racers return to action in their OVC opener with Eastern Kentucky Thursday at the Regional Special Events Center at 6 p.m. in a game aired on ESPNU.
