JERSEY CITY, NJ - A men's basketball player and a women's swimmer have been named Saint Peter's University Athletics Peacocks of the Month for January, as senior KC Ndefo and senior Natalie Davis have earned the fifth monthly Peacock award for the 2021-2022 academic year.
Ndefo was a key part of the men's basketball successful January, as the team posted a 6-2 record. The Preseason MAAC Player of the Year led the team in scoring during that eight-game span, averaging 11.1 points per game. The reigning MAAC Defensive Player of the Year has continued to be solid on the defensive end, recording 12 blocks and 11 steals in January. Ndefo's best outing of the season came against Niagara on January 21, when he matched his career high with 22 points and grabbed a career high 13 rebounds in a 74-68 overtime win.
Davis has been a consistent winner for the women's swim team this season. During the first of two meets in January, Davis swam her third sub-one minute time this season in the 100-yard backstroke (59.82), registering her sixth individual win of the season and fourth in the event. The very next day, she won the 200-yard backstroke (2:12.26) by nearly a second-and-a-half. She also scored a second-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle (2:12.09).
