\nScantlebury earned the honor after scoring 14 points, grabbing three rebounds, and adding a steal and a blocked shot in Penn’s 74-72 win over Lafayette on December 8 at The Palestra. The freshman shot 6-of-9 from the field and hit two of his three foul shots in reaching double figures in the scoring column for the third time this season.

\nPenn (6-4) is off for fall-term exams right now and returns to action on Saturday at Rutgers. That game will air on the Big Ten Network and tips off at 8 p.m.
