ANNVILLE, PA --- Sophomore forward Brandon Zaleski (Hackettstown, NJ/Hackettstown HS) of the Moravian College men’s basketball squad has been named the Commonwealth Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for his performance last week.

Zaleski led the Greyhounds to a 2-1 record last week including a pair of victories in Commonwealth Conference action. Zaleski averaged 21 points and seven rebounds per game while shooting 52.9 percent (27 of 51) from the floor and 85.7 percent (6 of 7) at the charity stripe. In Moravian’s 76-70 victory over Elizabethtown College, Zaleski scored a season high 32 points, and he added ten rebounds.
