Hilbert College Athletics

Masia Phillips concluded his sophomore campaign with a bang and earned his second consecutive Hawk of the Week honor today.

The 6-1 guard scored 49 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and shared the ball for five assists as the men’s basketball team went 1-1 in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference postseason tournament.

Phillips averaged 24.5 points and seven rebounds in Hilbert’s 77-72 First Round playoff win at Penn State Altoona and in their 84-67 semifinal loss to eventual AMCC champions La Roche College.

The Laurelton, NY native carried the Hawks to the finish line with a perfect 8-for-8 from the foul line in the final 90-seconds of the come-from-behind road win at Altoona.  He posted game-high scoring honors with 22 points to lift the Hawks to the Championship Weekend in Pittsburgh.

Phillips closed his second-year of collegiate competition as the leading scorer for both teams notching 27 points with a 13-of-15 performance at the charity stripe.

On the season, Phillips averaged 14.8 points per game, 4.7 rebounds, was credited with 66 assists and 20 steals for the 18-9 Hawks.
