MIAMI– FIU men's basketball freshman Trey Beamer was named CUSA's Week One Freshman of the Week, the league announced Monday. Beamer started his season off on a high note as FIU went 2-0 to start the year.

The four-star rated freshman lived up to the hype in his first two games, averaging 17.0 ppg, 3 apg and 2.0 rpg, shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 3-10 from three with a perfect 9-9 mark from the line. He opened his FIU career with nine points, four steals, two assists and a block against New College (Nov. 2) as FIU took them down 101-58 in the opener.

On Friday (Nov. 6), Beamer had his breakout game, scoring 25 points to lead all Panthers in a game this season against West Florida, nailing clutch free throws and layups late to keep the lead. He is the first FIU freshman to score 25 points in a game since Freddy Asprilla had 28 on 1/10/09 at MTSU, and the first CUSA freshman to do so this season as the Panthers started the Joey Cantens era 2-0.

In the league, Beamer currently sits eighth in the league in scoring to start the year, and second on FIU behind teammate Tijan Saine Jr.
