Kevin Diemer Claims the First NACC Men's Basketball Player of the Week Award of the Year
The Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference announced Tuesday morning that Rockford University forward Kevin Diemer has been named the NACC Men's Basketball Player of the Week. This is Diemer's fifth NACC weekly award of his career, and he also becomes just the second Regent this year to earn a NACC weekly honor.
Kevin Diemer was a key contributing factor as to why Rockford never trailed in either of its games last week and cruised to a pair of wins by an average margin of victory of 39 points. Diemer opened the year with a double-double against Minnesota Morris. He scored 18 points, had 13 rebounds and 2 assists in the 87-52 victory over the Cougars. He followed that performance up with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and an assist in a 105-62 win at Maranatha. For the week, Diemer averaged 18.5 points, 9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 steal.
The RU men's basketball team is back home on Saturday, November 19 against Eureka College. Tip-off is set for 7 PM in the Seaver Center.
