ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis senior forward
John Klein earned his second Atlantic 10 Conference weekly award of the season today when he was named the league's Offensive Player of the Week.
Â
Klein helped the Billikens to a pair of victories last week against SIUE and La Salle. Against La Salle on Saturday, Klein scored twice as the Billikens defeated the Explorers 3-1 in the A-10 opener. He also was a key contributor to the Billikens' offensive explosion at SIUE, where SLU scored a season-high four goals to defeat the Cougars 4-1 and keep control of the Bronze Boot.
Â
Klein leads the Billikens in goals (3) and points (7). He is eighth among all active NCAA Division I players with 73 career points (25G, 23A). His 23 assists are tied for fifth in the NCAA.
Â
The Billikens host VCU at Hermann Stadium on Saturday night for Homecoming. Game time is 7:30 p.m., with the traditional fireworks display taking place at halftime.
