BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) announced its Athlete of the Week award winners for basketball on Monday. Student-athletes from Carleton, Hamline, and St. Scholastica claimed the Conference's weekly honors. The MIAC Athlete of the Week awards are nominated by the Conference's sports information directors and selected by MIAC staff. 

The freshman duo of Kloey Lind (Pine City, Minn./Pine City HS) and Hope Carlson (Proctor, Minn./Proctor HS) were awarded for their efforts on the court this past week.
