Aberdeen's Saddler Named CAA Player Of The Week

Aberdeen alum Devon Saddler was named the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Week after strong performances against three major conference opponents.

Saddler averaged 28.3 points against Pittsburgh, Temple and Kansas State. The 6-foot-2 guard scored a career-best 32 points in a 66-63 loss to Kansas State.

He added 28 points against Pittsburgh and 25 against Temple.

His 22.2 points per game leads the CAA.

Saddler is in his second year as a captain for the Blue Hens.

The 2009 Aberdeen grad entered 2012 having started all 63 games he's played at Delaware, averaging 16.1 points per game.

He was named the conference rookie of the year as a freshman, and was honored as a second-team all-conference performer last year, when he averaged 18.1 points per game—good for second in the conference.
