In his season debut, Maughmer recorded the first triple-double in the Great Midwest since Chandler Vaudrin (formerly of Walsh and now at Winthrop) did so in 2017-18 more than a couple of times while leading in the nation in the category.
It was also the first triple-double in Division II this year as Maughmer finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, against Tiffin. Last year, the junior guard was just two assists shy of the rare feat in an OT win against former league member Central State.
Maughmer was 8-of-15 from the field while four of his 11 rebounds were of the offensive variety. He added a block and two steals in 33 minutes of court time.
His 10 assists were a new career best after recording 8 two different times as a sophomore. He also crossed the 900-point threshold in his career, poised for the 1,000 Club in the near future.
Maughmer has legitimate Conference player of the year potential on a stacked Yellow Jackets program that was picked second in the preseason coaches poll. He is a two-time all-conference team selection, cracking the first team list in 2019-20, and also earning spot on the all-defensive team.
His younger brother, Jayvon, is next in line for the family as a 6-5 freshman while getting his first career start vs. Ohio Valley.
Cedarville’s season is just getting started after starting vs. Ohio Valley and playing out an exhibition against Akron the following day. The Yellow Jackets are lined up with a three-game road swing this week against Ohio Dominican (Tuesday), Trevecca Nazarene (Thursday) and Kentucky Wesleyan (Saturday).
