GREENVILLE, S.C. - Aliyah Hawkins of King University was selected as this week’s national player of the week by the NCAA Division II Conference Information Directors of America for the week of Jan. 5-11.

Hawkins flirted with a pair of triple-doubles in two King victories last week, as she had 22 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in a 74-53 win over North Greenville and followed it with a 20-point, 11-rebound, eight-assist showing in a 72-58 victory over Southern Wesleyan. Hawkins was nine-of-12 from the field and four-of-seven from three-point range in the first of those wins and added four steals along the way.

In the Southern Wesleyan victory, she made five-of-10 from the field, four-of-eight from beyond the arc and six-of-10 at the free throw line, finishing the week with marks of 63.6 percent (14-of-22) from the field, 53.3 percent (eight-of-15) from three-point land and was six-of-10 at the line to go along with 11 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game. The two double-doubles were the first of her collegiate career and helped her earn Player of the Week honors from Conference Carolinas.
