Lawrence University men’s basketball standout Tyler Crisman has been named the Midwest Conference Player of the Week.
Crisman (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln Way East) earned the honor after pouring in a career-high 30 points in Lawrence’s 72-64 victory at Beloit College this past Saturday.
A junior guard, Crisman was 10-for-17 from the floor and 7-for-8 from the foul line against the Bucs. The 30 points topped his previous career high of 29, which he set against Ripon College earlier this month. Crisman also picked up three rebounds and three against Beloit.
The victory was critical for the Vikings and moved Lawrence into a four-way tie for second place in the Midwest Conference at 10-6.
Crisman, who was honored as the Player of the Week for the first time in his career, improved his scoring average to 15.9 points per game. He is shooting 47.3 percent from the floor, including 44.4 percent from 3-point range.
Lawrence returns to action on Wednesday when it hosts Ripon at Alexander Gymnasium.
