SUWANEE, Ga. -- Sophomore first baseman Will Hawkins of Millsaps College has been named the SCAC Player of the Week after hitting a team-leading .429 (6-for-14) on the weekend and helping Millsaps to a 3-0 start for a second consecutive year. 

The Nettleton, Miss., native extended his career-long hitting streak to 10 games dating back to last year with a 3-for-5 outing in the season-opener and hits in the next two games. He also carried an .857 slugging percentage with 12 total bases, five runs, five RBIs, three doubles and a home run.

The weekly conference award is the first of Hawkins' young Millsaps career, also being named one of two Millsaps Players of the Week by the sports information office.
