INDIANAPOLIS – Hilbert College's Hunter Martineau was named the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Division III National Player of the Week for games ending the week of Sunday, December 1.

Martineau is the first AMCC player to win the award this season. 

The 5-11 senior guard from Orlando, Fla. helped lead the Hawks (6-1) to a pair of road wins last week.

In an 81-78 victory at Pitt-Bradford on Tuesday, Martineau scored 14 points, grabbed six rebounds, recorded five assists, and added two steals. His layup and two free throws late in the contest helped secure the victory.

Then, in an 85-77 overtime victory at Elmira on Saturday, he scored a career-high 32 points while just missing a triple-double with nine rebounds, 11 assists and three steals. Martineau recorded six points and four assists in the overtime period.

For the week, he averaged 23 points, eight assists, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.5 steals while shooting 72.2 percent (13-of-18) from the field, 90.4 percent (19-of-21) from the foul line and 50 percent (1-of-2) from three-point range.

Martineau, who is currently second in NCAA Division III with eight assists per game, was also named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Player of the Week.

Early this year, he became Hilbert College's All-Time Assist leader November 16 against St. John Fisher College.  Since that game, Martineau has averaged 9.5 assists per game and collected his second career Triple Double (16p/14a/10r) against Keuka (November 23).
