Junior Jake Schwarz has been named Northern Athletics Conference men's basketball student-athlete of the week for the second-straight week.

Schwarz earned the recognition after leading the Lakeland College men's basketball team to two key victories in NAC play. He scored a game-high 36 points against Maranatha Baptist Bible College on Nov. 29 en route to joining the 1,000-point club. Schwarz became the 38th player in the program's history to earn the feat.

On Dec. 3, Schwarz scored 22 points in just 19 minutes to lead the Muskies past Dominican University. The Sheboygan, Wis., native leads the NAC in scoring with 29 points per game and shot an impressive 73 percent from the floor last week.

The 6-foot-5 forward also averaged seven rebounds per game, including 11 against Maranatha.
