YUMA, Ariz. – Arizona Western College Head Men's Basketball Coach Kyle Isaacs was named the Hoopdirt.com JUCO Head Coach of the Week after guiding the Matadors to a pair of road wins last week, extending the Matadors' winning streak to a season-best five games.

Isaacs and the Matadors opened the week with a 91-70 win on the road at Central Arizona after trailing for most of the first half. Arizona Western outscored the Vaqueros 54-33 in the second, led by freshman guard Matt Anglo who scored a season-high 30 points in the win.

Arizona Western continued its strong play on the road on Saturday, earning a 73-68 win over College of Southern Nevada in North Las Vegas.

The Matadors started their five-game-winning streak with three wins before the holiday break, beating No. 14 ranked Southern Idaho and earning a win over Region IX contender Laramie County.
