SAN MARCOS, Calif. – Charlie Henderson of men's basketball and Natalie Paulson of women's soccer have been named the Cal State San Marcos Student-Athletes of the Month for November 2023.
The CSUSM Student-Athletes of the Month awards are determined through a vote of all Department of Athletics coaches, administrators and staff. Each in-season program nominates a student-athlete to be considered for the award each month.
Henderson led CSUSM with 13.0 points per game, a 62.2 field-goal percentage and five blocked shots while coming down with 5.8 rebounds per game in the Cougars' five games in November. The Mission Viejo native posted a season-high 20 points in the CCAA opener against Cal State LA to end the month. In CSUSM's second game of the season against Biola, Henderson earned his first double-double as a Cougar with 17 points and a season-high 10 rebounds against Biola while blocking three shots.
Paulson had a November to remember as she was named the CCAA Player and Defender of the Year while earning All-CCAA first team honors. She posted one goal on a penalty kick in the regular-season finale against Cal State East Bay. After helping CSUSM win its first CCAA Tournament Championship, the Long Beach native was named to the All-CCAA Tournament Team and was named the tournament's Defensive Most Valuable Player. She was also named to the D2 CCA and United Soccer Coaches All-West Region first team. Academically, Paulson earned Academic All-District Team honors from College Sports Communicators (CSC).
This is the first CSUSM Student-Athlete of the Month honor for both Henderson and Paulson.
