Schwarz garnered the award after averaging a double-double, including 29 points per game on 18-for-34 shooting and 11 rebounds per game. He scored game-highs in both the Muskies' games last week, including 32 points and 12 rebounds in a 101-92 win over Benedictine University on Feb. 4.

The Sheboygan, Wis., native finished 18-for-19 from the free throw line and led the Lakeland College men's basketball team to a 1-1 mark in last week's play and will look to help lead the team past Concordia University Wisconsin on Wednesday night.

The 6-foot-5 forward has tallied eight double-doubles this season, which ranks 41st nationally. He is the nation's sixth leading scorer (25.1), is sixth in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage (48.3) and is 11th in free throw percentage (88.9).

Schwarz has scored 1,451 points and currently sits at 11th all-time on Lakeland's career scoring list.
