Austin Dill earns GSAC Player of the Week

Dill has become one of the conference most efficient players since the start of 2020.

ROCKLIN, Calif - In what turned out to be a positive closeout to the home schedule in Warrior Arena, Austin Dill also won GSAC player of the week for his contributions as he helped Jessup sweep their final two home games against San Diego Christian and Vanguard last week.

Dill's performances in both games were impressive as he shot 57-percent from the field while averaging 15.5 points, eight rebounds, and 2.5 assists.

The honor was the first won by any Jessup men's basketball player this season and represents the ninth time Coach Lance Von Vogt has had a player receive the award since joining the GSAC in 2014.

Von Vogt said the honor was a pleasing sight to see for a player who works hard every day.

"Austin represents what's right about collegiate athletics. He has developed his game more than almost any other athlete I've coached over the past two-plus decades. He is the ultimate teammate and always plays the game the right way."

Dill has consistently proven to be one of the Warriors' most effective and efficient players as he's averaging 10.5 points and 5.6 rebounds this season while hitting 56-percent of his shots from the field and 42-percent of his three-pointers.

One of Dill's most impressive stats is that he's ranked second in the conference for field goal percentage as a 6-5 forward.

Dill has also been on a hot streak with his shooting as he's scored in double-figures nine of his last 11 games. Von Vogt said his recent improvement can be credited to the work Dill's done to make himself one of the conference's most versatile players.

"Austin's made himself into a complete player and impacts the game way beyond the box score with his basketball IQ, team defense, and team culture setting. I couldn't be happier for him to earn this recognition and the best thing about Austin is that he just keeps getting better."

Dill and his team will look to keep their win streak going in Arizona as they play No. 17 Arizona Christian on Thursday before ending the regular season Saturday against OUAZ.
