Hilbert College Athletics

Masia Phillips found his shooting touch this week for the men’s basketball team and earned his first Hawk of the Week honor in 2018-19.

The 6-1 junior guard from Laurelton, N.Y. scored 49 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished five assists as Hilbert went 1-1 on the week.  He averaged 24.5 points, five rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in Hilbert’s 86-84 loss at Keuka and the Hawks 73-60 road win over Alfred State.

Phillips shot 51.4 percent from the floor (18-35) and 53.8 percent beyond the arc (7-13). 

Phillips tossed in a season-high 30 points against the Wolves of Keuka, knocking down 5-of-9 from deep while grabbing a team-high seven rebounds and passing for three assists.  He closed the week with a 19-point performance scoring critical buckets when the Hawks needed a lift.
