Men's Basketball
Josh Porter # 1 of LSU-Shreveport - LA- Winner at the Conference level
A 6-2 SR G from Shreveport, LA
Team Record: Week:2-0 Overall: 17-0
NAIA National Ranking:4
Notes: Porter helped lead the Pilots to two huge road wins last week, while scoring a career-high 40 points and eclipsing the 1,000 point mark for his career in the Pilots 90-52 victory over Spring Hill last Thursday. Porter needed just six points entering the Spring Hill game to become the fifth member of the LSUS 1,000 point club since the program was restored in 2003. Porter followed up Thursday's performance with 22 points and 4 rebounds in a two-point win over Mobile on Saturday, as the Pilots took sole possession of first place in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference standings. Porter now has 1,056 career points in just 55 games played at LSUS. The Pilots hold a 50-5 record with Porter in a LSUS uniform.
