The 6-5 forward also led the team in rebounding with a 5.6 rebound per game average and dished out 1.3 assists per game. He registered his lone double-double on January 21 against Occidental as he went for 14 points and 11 rebounds.

McLean finished the season scoring 7.6 points per game and added 4.5 rebounds a game.  The Hingham, Mass., native scored in double figures eight times this year with his highest output coming on February 18 against Pomona-Pitzer when he recorded 15 points.

The 6-6 forward played in all 26 games as he made starts. He led the team in blocks with 36 (1.4 per game) and had a season-high four blocks against Cal Lutheran on January 31.

McLean shot 45 percent from the field while Archuletta had a 49 percent field goal percentage.
