Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO Dec. 24, 2007

Men's Basketball's Bryce Simon has been named the American University Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO for the week ending Dec. 23, 2007.

Simon led American to a shocking upset of the University of Maryland on Saturday, 67-59, with a career-high 17 points, adding career-highs in three-pointers (three), free throws made (four) and assists (four). The 6-8 junior from Syracuse, Kan., hit several key shots throughout the game to help the Eagles stave off any UMD hope of a comeback.
