MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – Thanks to his stellar play to begin the 2023-24 campaign, Penn State Harrisburg men's basketball player Donyae Baylor-Carroll has been named to the season's first D3hoops.com National Team of the Week.

In his first outing in nearly two years, Baylor-Carroll netted a game-high 19 points, dished out seven assists, and swiped seven steals in a comeback victory over Kean on opening night. The senior guard followed it up by scoring a dozen points and adding a game-high six assists and five steals in an overtime victory against Marymount (Va.) on Saturday night. The Harrisburg, Pa. native capped his first week back by pouring in a game-high 27 points to go along with seven assists and six steals in a win over St. John Fisher on Sunday evening. For his efforts, he was named the most valuable player (MVP) of this past weekend's Penn State Harrisburg Tip-Off Classic presented by Comfort Inn & Suites Harrisburg Airport - Hershey South.

Baylor-Carroll was named the United East Volt Division Defensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon after averaging 19.3 points, 6.7 assists, and six assists per contest.
