Hill Named MAC Co-Player of the Week

MAC Press Release

Jermahri Hill has been named the Mid-American Conference Co-Player of the Week, the MAC office announced Monday afternoon.

Hill led the Cardinals in scoring during each game of last week's Gulf Coast Showcase including contributing team-bests in points (18), rebounds (seven), assists (four) and blocks (two) during Ball State's 63-61 triumph over Eastern Kentucky in the opener on Monday. The junior guard orchestrated a 6-0 Ball State run in the final minute with assists on Mickey Pearson Jr.'s 3-pointer and then Payton Sparks' and-1 with 15 seconds to play to pull off the comeback.

Hill averaged 21.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, and 3.7 apg in three games last week while his performance in Florida propelled him to currently second on the MAC leaderboard in total points (141) and points per game (17.6) through the first month of the season.

The other Co-Player of the Week is Eastern Michigan's Da'Sean Nelson. This is Ball State's first weekly recognition of the season and Hill's initial MAC honor.

The next game for the Cardinals is set for 2 p.m. ET (1 p.m. CT) on Sunday at SIUE.
