Double-Double Efforts

Ameyaw recorded a double-double against Fresno Pacific with 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Johnson added one of his own in the road win at Menlo with 18 points and 10 boards. The duo's inside presence has anchored Stan State's rebounding advantage and balanced attack through the first four games of the season.

Perfect Shooting Performance

On the season, Ameyaw is averaging 12.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game while shooting 66.7 percent from the floor—one of the top marks in the CCAA. His performance marked one of the most efficient single-game outings by a Stan State player in recent seasons and continued his strong start to the year as a key two-way contributor.
