Complete list of weekly winners >>>

For the second time in four weeks, Cal State LA’s Shane Bell has been named the CCAA Men’s Basketball Player of the Week. (Dec. 4-10) 

Bell averaged 20.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists to lead Cal State LA to a pair of home wins, and the Golden Eagles are now tied for third in the CCAA standings at 3-1. He went 10-of-12 on 3-pointers (.833 percent) and finished the week shooting 62 percent from the field (13-of-21). 

The 6-5 guard opened the week with a 12-point, eight-assist, five-rebound effort in a 20-point win over Cal State Monterey Bay on Thursday. 

On Saturday, Bell put up a CCAA season-high 29 points and tied a program record going 8-for-10 on 3-pointers. After going down 47-43 in the first half against Stanislaus State, he put up 20 points in the second half to help secure a victory for Cal State LA. 

The Hercules, Calif., native is now fourth in the conference in scoring (14.8) and leads the CCAA with 5.1 assists per game. His 2.6 assist-to-turnover ratio also paces the league and is double the second-place mark. 

Bell is the first Golden Eagle to earn multiple CCAA Player of the Week honors in the same season since Vincent Camper won three in 2007-08. 

Cal State LA is in finals week and will not play any games this week. Before starting their Christmas break, they will travel to Fresno Pacific for a non-conference game on Tuesday, Dec. 19. The Golden Eagles will resume conference play on Dec. 30 against Cal State Dominguez Hills.
