The junior guard finished the two-game stretch averaging 14 points, eight rebounds and eight assists per game and notched a triple-double with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists in Tuesday’s 73-63 win over the Falcons. In a 76-58 win over the Mountain Lions, Fry played 32 minutes and finished with 13 points and four assists while shooting 60 percent from the field.
