ASHLAND – Following back-to-back NAIA Top 25 wins for the Southern Oregon men's basketball team, Raiders forward Bryce Dyer has been voted the Cascade Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

Dyer, the reigning CCC Defensive co-Player of the Year, helped SOU defeat No. 20-ranked Hope International (79-69) and No. 17 The Master's (82-76, OT) on consecutive days at the Lithia-Oregon Tech Classic. During the stay in Klamath Falls, the senior averaged 13.5 points and 8.5 rebounds while collecting three steals.

He also guarded inside and out to limit two high-powered offenses. In the first game, the Raiders held Hope to 2-of-14 shooting from 3-point distance; in the second, they kept The Master's to three total free-throw attempts.

Through three games this season, Dyer is nearly averaging a double-double at 14.3 points and 9.0 boards. The North Medford product has also eclipsed 800 points and 700 rebounds for his career.

He and the Raiders (2-1) travel to Montana this week to face a pair of Frontier Conference opponents: MSU-Northern on Friday and Carroll on Saturday. After that trip, they'll be home for the first time Nov. 20 for a non-conference matchup with Oregon Tech.
