SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Omaha Men's Basketball senior forward Valentino Simon (Nassau, Bahamas) was named the Summit League's Kwik Star Peak Performer of the Week, it was revealed Tuesday. This is Simon's first career nod.

Simon is now the third Maverick to earn the weekly honor, joining teammates Lance Waddles (Dec. 23) and Paul Djobet (Feb. 3).

Simon has made three straight starts for Omaha (14-14, 7-6 Summit) after primarily serving in a rotational role this season. Last week, Simon shot 66.7% from the field (10-15) and sank 12 of 16 free throw tries. The Nassau, Bahamas native scored a career-best 21 points in Omaha's win over St. Thomas. He totaled eight assists and 15 rebounds in just shy of 62 minutes of action over a 2-0 week for Chris Crutchfield's squad.

Omaha has won three of its last five games and hosts Oral Roberts on Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. CT in the home regular-season finale as the Mavericks celebrate Senior Night. Catch the action on the Summit League Network or 1290 KOIL in Omaha. Fans can also listen on the Varsity Network.
