MORAGA, Calif. — Paulius Murauskas has gone from highly anticipated incoming transfer to bonafide star at Saint Mary's in one week flat, and as such, the sophomore power forward has earned his first Shamrock Office Solutions Student-Athlete of the Week nod. Murauskas led the Gaels to a pair of wins in their opening week against Towson and Chattanooga, recording a double-double in each contest. He is the first Saint Mary's Basketball player to earn this award following the opening week of the season since Jordan Ford did it in 2018.
In his very first contest as a Gael, Paulius Murauskas drew the start at the four, and answered the bell to the tune of a 14 point, 13 rebound double-double.
