CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Matej Dusa of the Queens University of Charlotte men's swimming team and Kalaya Hall of the women's basketball team have been named January InterCon Male and Female Student-Athletes of the Month. 

Dusa had an incredibly successful month given the sophomore's intense schedule. The Bratislava, Slovakia native posted eight first-place finishes across three separate meets for the Royals. Dusa was perfect in the 200-yard medley relay and 200-yard freestyle relay with three wins in each event. In the individual events, Dusa took the crown twice in the 50-yard freestyle, including a remarkable 19.76 time against Duke and Tennessee. Dusa would also add a pair of second-place finishes in the 100-yard freestyle and 200-yard freestyle. At the beginning of the month, Dusa made the semifinals of the World Championships in Abu Dhabi. Currently, he is ranked No. 1 nationally in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle.

Scoring 187 points during the month of January, Hall averaged 26.7 points shooting 46 percent from the field and 67 percent from three. She broke the record for single-game points scoring 41 points against Anderson on Jan. 12 and then broke her record against Limestone on Jan. 24 scoring 43 points. The record was previously held by Queens Hall of Famer Sequoya Friday who scored 40 points against Lees-McRae on Jan. 7, 1998. Hall currently ranks second in points per game (20.5) in the SAC. 

Catch Dusa in action at the Bluegrass Mountain Conference Championships that kick off tomorrow at the Mecklenburg Country Aquatic Center. Additionally, Hall will be in action tonight when women's basketball takes on Coker on the road at 5:30 p.m.
