Texas A&M University-Commerce junior guard Cardell Hunter (Dallas, Texas/Carter HS) scored a season-high 22 points and grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds in the Lions' 85-67 win over No. 14 Tarleton State en route to being Lone Star Conference North Division Player of the Week on Monday.

Hunter made seven of eight free throws as the Lions knocked off the nationally-ranked Texans in a team-high 34 minutes of action.

Hunter, who will celebrate his 21st birthday later this week, and the Lions return to action on Thursday against Ouachita Baptist in Arkadelphia, Arkansas at 7 pm. The action can be heard live on KETR (88.9 FM or www.ketr.org). The next home game for the Lions at the A&M-Commerce Field House will be on Tuesday, December 9th against Southern Arkansas at 7 p.m.
