Two Straight Double-Doubles Garner Schmidt OAC Weekly Honor

Brian Schmidt (Hinckley, Ohio / Brunswick) of the Heidelberg College men’s basketball team posted note-worthy numbers during the team’s two victories last week against Ohio Northern University (72-70) and Mount Union College (77-62). His two double-doubles were good enough to earn the senior center his first Ohio Athletic Conference Player of the Week honor of his career.

Against ONU, Schmidt led the team with 24 points and 13 rebounds, while later in the week he kept his hot streak going, posting 12 points and 11 rebounds versus Mount. For the year, Schmidt is second on the team with an average of 13.6 points per game and 7.4 rebounds per game.

Heidelberg currently stands at 6-1 on the year, 2-1 in the OAC, and tips off next against Marietta College on Saturday, December 15 on the Pioneers home court at 3:00 p.m.
