TRAFFORD, Pa. - On Monday, the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) released its weekly award winners for Week 1 of the 2026-27 regular season.

Chatham freshman guard Gregory Taylor and senior guard Tajh Williams swept the weekly awards. Taylor was awarded PAC Newcomer of the Week after two very strong starts to his career and Williams was awarded PAC Player of the Week after earning game-high points that contributed to the Cougars' 2-0 week in non-conference play.

Taylor made a strong debut in the Cougars' 2-0 weekend in the Chatham Classic, averaging 14.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists. He hit 60 percent of his shots (9-15) in scoring 21 points and also had six boards and five assists in the Hartwick victory. Williams came back the next day to post eight points, four boards and a pair of assists in the 89-63 win over St. Mary's.

Williams registered 21.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals in a 2-0 weekend for the Cougars. He went 10-for-16 from the floor, including 5-of-8 from the arc, for 27 points along with six boards and three assists in a 101-75 blowout win over Hartwick. Saturday in an 89-63 victory over St. Mary's (Md.), Williams compiled 16 points, eight rebounds and five assists. For the weekend, Williams shot 59 percent from the field (16-27).
