Jake Hilmer of Upper Iowa men's basketball earned GLVC Men's Basketball Player of the Week after two impressive showings at the JustAgame Crossover tournament this past weekend. He is the first winter-sport athlete to receive this award and the fourth Peacock this year.
Hilmer averaged 34.5 points over two games as he currently leads the GLVC in points per game. He shot 49% (20-of-41) from the field, 38% (3-of-8) from three, and 96% (26-of-27) from the foul line.
The Walker, Iowa native's outing in the Wisconsin Dells was highlighted by Sunday's 93-87 win over Michigan Tech as he netted 39 points, while going 3-3 from long distance and 18-18 from the charity stripe.
The Peacocks are on the road next weekend as they head to Aberdeen, S.D for the prestigious Small College Basketball Champions Classic, hosted by Northern State. UIU is set to challenge Northwest Missouri State on Nov. 17 at 5 p.m. and Northern State on Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m.
