(Week 11) Zekun Li

Male Basketball Athlete of the Week
Zekun (Peter) Li – VIU Mariners

He was elevated to the starting lineup in Week 11 and his clinical shooting had a huge impact in VIU’s two road wins at Capilano. Zekun Li started the weekend by powering the Mariners to a 29-point second quarter on Friday, opening up a lead that would be maintained throughout the game. He scored 10 points in the frame on 4-of-5 shooting and drained both of his three-point attempts. He added four rebounds and two assists in the game. In Saturday’s tight win, he was VIU’s top offensive option, and he delivered a game-high 25 points while earning at least five points in each quarter. He shot 50% from the field (8 for 16), went 4-for-9 from beyond the arc, and 5-of-7 from the free throw line. At the other end of the court, he made an impact too, pulling down a game-high seven defensive rebounds and had two steals.
