NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Christopher Newport University junior Toa Hollenbeck was honored on Monday, named the Coast-To-Coast (C2C) Athletic Conference men's basketball Player of the Week. Hollenbeck led the Captains to a 2-1 record last week, averaging 19.3 points per game.

The Chesapeake product led the CNU attack with 26 points last Tuesday in a home win over the 12th-ranked Marlins of Virginia Wesleyan University, and also posted a 24-point performance vs. Denison University in a victory on Saturday in the Jay Bilas Classic in Charlotte, N.C.

He had a stellar week at the foul line, making 16 of 18 shots.

Hollenbeck also scored eight points in CNU's loss on Friday to seventh-ranked Emory University. He is now averaging a team-high 17.8 points per game. This marks the second time this season the Grassfield High School grad has received the conference accolade.
