Hilbert College Athletics

Masia Phillips led the men’s basketball team to a pair of wins last week and earned his first Hawk of the Week honor at the start of his senior campaign.

Phillips, a 6-1 guard from Laurelton, NY (Queens High School of Teaching) averaged 16 points per game in Hilbert’s victories over Grove City (70-68) and Chatham (83-78) along with the loss to St. John Fisher (97-62).  He finished the week hitting 41-percent from the floor and 76-percent at the foul line in 28-minutes per game.

Phillips reached for 17 points twice (Grove City and St. John Fisher) and hit for 15 against Chatham.

Phillips was named to the Hawks Against Hunger All-Tournament Team after guiding the Hawks back to the Championship game against St. John Fisher.

Phillips is 7 points away from breaking 1,000 in his four-year career at Hilbert.
