BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The Lehigh Valley Small College Basketball Organization announced on Tuesday afternoon that East Stroudsburg University's David Duda Jr. and Ryan Weise were named to the LVSCBO 2022 Scholar-Athlete Teams.
The Lehigh Valley Small College Basketball Organization is made up of the six schools in the Lehigh Valley including NCAA Division II schools ESU and Kutztown along with NCAA Division III members Cedar Crest, DeSales, Moravian University and Muhlenberg College.
Duda Jr. is coming off a career-best performance against Mansfield on Jan. 5, where he drained 7-of-12 field goal attempts including four triples to score 19 points against the Mounties. He also distributed three assists in his second start of the season. On the season, the Collegeville, Pa. native is averaging 3.4 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest. In the classroom, the sport management major holds a 3.50 grade point average.
