For the fourth time in the past five weeks and fifth time overall this season, IUP junior forward Darryl Webb has been honored as the PSAC West Player of the Week by the conference office. Webb shared the award this week with Clarion's Shameel Carty. Webb averaged 18.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game in leading ninth-ranked IUP to wins over California and Slippery Rock. He added four steals, three assists and three blocked shots, hit 12 of 25 field goal attempts and 11 of 15 from the free throw line. Webb posted his 11th double-double of the season and 31st of his career with 22 points and 15 rebounds in an 83-74 victory at Slippery Rock on Saturday that kept IUP undefeated through its first six PSAC West games of the season. He had 15 points and eight rebounds in a 71-59 home win over California on Wednesday. Webb leads the PSAC and ranks ninth in the nation in rebounding with an average of 11.3 per game and also stands fifth in the conference and first among Western Division players in scoring at 17.7. He is eighth in the PSAC and 49th in the country with a .564 field goal percentage and leads the Crimson Hawks with 28 steals and is second with 20 blocked shots. With Webb leading the way, IUP ranks third in the country in rebound margin, pulling down 41.8 boards per game to only 30.8 for its opponents, a differential of 11.0. The Crimson Hawks have been outrebounded only twice this season. Webb has moved into 16th place in school history in scoring with 1,163 points and is 12th with a career scoring average of 15.3 points per game. Last week he became the fifth IUP player with 700 career rebounds, totaling 717 through the end of last week, and is fourth with a career average of 9.4 boards per contest. With 97 career blocked shots, he is only seven away from breaking Dave Knaub's school mark in that category. IUP is 17-1 overall and is ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Atlantic Region. The Crimson Hawks host Edinboro on Wednesday at 7:30 to end the first half of their PSAC West schedule. |
