ST. GEORGE, Utah-Late Tuesday, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference named Dixie State men’s basketball senior guard Jack Pagenkopf as their offensive player of the week for his heroics amid the Trailblazers’ 2-0 start.

The 6-3 190-pound native of Brooklyn, N.Y., via Blue Valley High School and Howard College, averaged 13 points, 12 rebounds and (RMAC-best) 8.5 assists and a steal per game in Dixie State’s wins over Texas A&M-Commerce and Texas-Tyler at the D2 Conference Challenge hosted by Westminster College of Salt Lake City this past weekend.

In Saturday’s 100-91 win over Texas-Tyler, Pagenkopf became the first Dixie State student-athlete in the NCAA Division II era to post a triple-double. Pagenkopf netted 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists against the Patriots to achieve this feat.

The Trailblazers host NAIA foe Providence (Mont.) Friday at 7:30 pm followed by a Saturday match-up against Saint Martin’s Saturday at 8:00 pm at Burns Arena as part of the 2019 Dixie State Classic.
