The Team of the Week started in the 1997-98 season, recognizing the top performance at each of the five positions from the previous week.

Christian Morgia became Austin College's all-time leading scorer last week and scored 57 points in two games. The senior added 5.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 3.5 steals while shooting 11-for-12 from the line.

Joe Faires' career-high 29 points in Sunday's 79-61 win against Hendrix came on 13-for-17 shooting from the floor. The sophomore (pictured) scored 47 points in 50 minutes of action over two games, finishing 18-for-26 from the floor, adding nine rebounds, five assists and four steals.

St. Lawrence's Meredith Eisenhut averaged 20 points per game and shot 23-for-30 from the floor (76.7%) and 3-for-4 from 3-point range. Add 9-for-11 from the line and you have a guard that missed only nine shots in three games. Not bad. Plus, 5.7 steals per game.
