Frison added per-game averages of 3.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds while accumulating a healthy 6.0 assist-to-turnover ratio in the process.
Frison poured in a career-high (at the DI level) 33 points on 14-of-18 FG (77.8%; 3-4 3FG; 75.0%) shooting while adding three rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes of action in Saturday's win over VMI. The performance followed a 28-point (12-17 FG; 70.6%; 2-5 3FG; 40.0%) effort, adding in three assists and two boards, in Thursday's contest against UNCG.
For the season, Frison ranks ninth among SoCon individuals in scoring average (16.4 PPG) while sitting fourth among qualified candidates in field-goal percentage (55.9%). Frison surpassed 500 points this season during Saturday's regular season finale against VMI to become the 25
