WINONA, Minn. — In his final game as a freshman with the Saint Mary's University men's basketball team, Raheem Anthony (Chicago, Ill.) poured in 28 points and added 10 rebounds in the Cardinals' MIAC Tournament semifinal loss to St. Thomas.
 
And the Cardinal guard has picked up right where he left off to open his sophomore campaign.
 
Anthony has scored 20 or more points in all three games this season — including 25- and 26-point efforts in the Cardinals' wins over Hamline and Gustavus last week.
 
Monday afternoon, Anthony was rewarded for those highlight-reel performances, being named Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week honors, the league office announced.
 
Anthony kicked off the week scoring 25 points and adding 10 rebounds en route to his fourth career double-double in Saint Mary's 77-66, nonconference win over Hamline last Monday, before adding 26 points, six rebounds, and four steals in the Cardinals' 67-45 victory over Gustavus two days later.
 
Anthony and the Cardinals (2-1 overall) are back in action on Saturday, when they return home to the Saint Mary's Gym for a 2 p.m. contest against Saint John's
