The Team of the Week presented by Scoutware is D3hoops.com's weekly honor roll, in its 24th season of recognizing the top performance at each of the five positions from the previous week.

Women's

Kelsea Hurley

Hurley averaged 19 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks while shooting 50% from the floor this week. She helped lead Central to its first 3-0 conferece record in 24 years and the first win against Loras in 10 outings. 

Elyce Knudsen

Knudsen, a freshman, was named CCIW player of the week after Millikin split a pair of games with Wheaton. She averaged 23 points, six rebounds, three assists, and four steals while shooting 59% from the floor with just two turnovers. 

Kylie Stark

Stark had an incredible career debut, playing all 45 minutes of a 72-70 overtime win against Ferrum. She scored 24 points with nine rebounds, seven assists, and three steals. Stark was also 10-for-12 from the free throw line, hitting a pair each in the final seconds of both regulation and overtime.

Sarah Sondrol

It's tough to make this team off the bench, but Sondrol had career nights in both Shenandoah games this week. First, she scored 19 points in 14 minutes as the Hornets cruised past St. Mary's (Md.) 81-59, then she followed that up with 24 points in 24 minutes in a 65-66 loss to Bridgewater. Sondrol had seven rebounds off the bench and while she missed the winning shot at the buzzer, she was also largely responsible for putting her team in a position to win in the first place.

Nicole Heffington

Heffington returns to the Team of the Week after another stellar performance, averaging 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and four steals on the week. She was once again named OAC performer of the week, shot 61% from the floor and hit a three with nine seconds to go to force overtime in the first of two John Carroll wins over Mount Union this week.

Men's

Jake Negus

Nick Bowman

Bowman averaged 28 points and six rebounds over two Trine wins this week.  He shot 59% from the floor, including 6-10 from the three point line. On Wednesday, against Calvin, Bowman scored 18 of his 28 points in the second half, as Trine pulled away to win 83-65, after leading by just one at the break. He had another 28 points on Saturday, nearly half his team's offensive output, as Trine beat Adrian 59-49

John Burwell

Burwell averaged 29 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and three steals as William Peace split a pair of contests with Greensboro. In the final minute of Saturday's 93-92 win, Burwell pulled down a huge rebound, started the break and assisted on the layup that put the Pacers six points ahead. It was his second 30 point scoring night of the season.

T.C. Thacker

Thacker's Lynchburg squad missed out on two games this week, due to COVID cancellations, but he made good in the one game he was able to play, shooting 13-for-14 from the charity stripe and pulled down 13 big rebounds to go with 17 points (14 in the second half) in an 84-69 win over Hampden-Sydney.  Thacker added four assists, two steals, and a block for an incredibly well-rounded performance.

Nolan Ginther

Ginther shot 73% from the floor, including 4-of-5 on 3-pointers over two DePauw wins this week. He averaged 23 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Against Wabash, in a game that had to pushed back due to COVID protocols, Ginther scored 34 - the second highest single game offensive output of his career.
