Senior of the Week
G Mason Archambault South Dakota
Archambault is starting to become a go-to player for the Coyotes this season, and this award shows this. Not only did Archambault average 16 points per game this week, but the senior guard also chipped in another 7.5 rebounds. South Dakota continues to search for offense after their off-season losses, but Archambault seems to be stepping up

Junior of the Week
Guard Darrius Hughes Omaha
It has already been a long season for Omaha. Their lone victory was against a non-division 1 opponent and their losing streak is now at 9. However recently Hughes has been a bright spot for the Mavericks. This week the Junior guard averaged 17 points and also chipped in 6.5 rebounds. Maybe his play can be the spark the Mavericks need.

Sophomore of the Week
Guard Baylor Scheierman South Dakota State
One has to begin to wonder if anyone else will ever win the award outside of Scheierman and teammate Noah Freidel. Scheierman may be setting himself up for a Summit League MVP run with his play this season. This week Scheierman averaged 16.5 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.5 assists as he continues his strong play this season.
