Sports Brief: Soph. Danley named Ivy Player of the Week

Forward Steve Danley of the Penn men's basketball team was honored with his first career nod as Ivy League Player of the Week.

Danley set career-highs on consecutive nights, scoring 16 points against Yale on Friday and 22 against Brown the following night.

The Quakers won both games in blowouts, beating the Elis 65-41 and the Bears 83-60.

Last Tuesday night in Penn's 67-59 win against St. Joseph's, the Germantown, Md., native scored 10 points and added six rebounds and a career-high six assists.

The Quakers (9-7, 2-0 Ivy) won the three games as part of their season-long five-game winning streak, and are the lone undefeated team remaining in the Ancient Eight.

The sophomore's award comes a week after sophomore guard Ibby Jaaber won the honor after scoring a career-high 24 points against Lafayette on Jan. 18.
