Schilling Garners ECAC Division II Men's Basketball Player Of The Week Honors

COLCHESTER, Vt. - Saint Michael's College sophomore Tyler Schilling (Excelsior, Minn./Minnetonka) added another award to his ever-growing resume on Tuesday, as the forward was named the ECAC Division II Men's Basketball Player of the Week.

Schilling, who also earned Player of the Week honors from the Northeast-10 Conference on Monday, guided the Purple Knights to a 2-1 record last week. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the Pace University Holiday Classic, as he recorded 22 points (on a perfect 10-of-10 shooting) and added nine rebounds in a 68-65 win versus Dominican (N.Y.) College on December 28, and 18 points (on 8-of-10 shooting) and eight rebounds in a 77-76 victory versus Molloy College the next day.

He ended the week with 19 points and a career-high 19 rebounds in an 82-69 loss at nationally-ranked Bentley University on Saturday.

Schilling and the Purple Knights return to action on Wednesday with a 7:30 p.m. contest at the College of Saint Rose.
