SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Following his historic scoring performance Portland guard Max Mackinnon garnered Heluva Good Dip West Coast Conference Player of the Week honors and teammate Austin Rapp earned his third WCC Freshman of the Week award, the league office announced on Monday.

Mackinnon tied the University of Portland single-game scoring record and put up the most points by any WCC player in a game this season when he erupted for 43 points in the Pilots' 92-82 win against San Diego on Thursday. He tied the previous school record set by Matt Houle in 1992. It was the fifth highest single-game scoring output all-time by an Australian player at the NCAA Division I level and is the most by a WCC player since Santa Clara's Jared Brownridge scored 44 vs. Arizona on Nov. 26, 2015. The Brisbane, Australia native also passed the 1,000-point mark for his career in the game.

Mackinnon was 9-for-17 from the field, including a career-best 7-of-9 from three-point range. He also knocked down 18-of-22 free throws and extended his streak of consecutive free throws made to 40 before it was broken in the second half. Mackinnon added seven rebounds, four assists and a steal in the historic game. Against Gonzaga on Saturday Mackinnon led the team with 18 points on 7-of-15 shooting. For the week Mackinnon averaged 30.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 50 percent from the field, 60 percent from three-point range and 83 percent at the foul line.

Rapp continued his stellar play by averaging 16.5 points and 5.5 rebounds over the two games. He finished with 17 points, eight rebounds, three assists a steal and blocked shot in the win against the Toreros. Rapp then had 16 points, including 4-of-7 from three-point range, to go with three rebounds an assist and blocked shot against the Bulldogs.

The Melbourne, Australia native is among the leaders nationally for freshmen in scoring, rebounding, blocked shots, three-point shooting and free throw percentage.

The Pilots hit the road this week for a pair of games in Southern California. Portland visits LMU Thursday for a 7 p.m. tip and then takes on Pepperdine Saturday at 7 p.m.
