Emory University senior Jake Davis (Cincinnati, OH) has been selected by DIII News as Player of the Month for February.

The 6-foot-5 Davis averaged a team-high 24.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals in helping the Eagles to a February record of 5-2.   Davis led the team in scoring on four occasions including back-to-back road games at Chicago (Feb. 7) and Washington University (Feb. 9), picking up 28 points against UC followed by a career-high 36 points, the fourth-highest individual game total in school history, against the Bears.  Over the seven-game stretch, Davis connected on 45.1 percent from the floor (55-of-122), including a team-leading 38.2 percent (13-of-34) from three-point range, and was outstanding from the foul line, converting 45 of his 48 opportunities. 

Entering the final weekend of the regular season, Davis tops the University Athletic Association in scoring in both overall (23.0 ppg) and league (22.8 ppg) action.  He has produced 23 contests of double-figure scoring and has registered 20 or more points on 15 occasions.
