NIU freshman guard Dylan Ducommun has been named the Northern Star’s Huskie of the Week after scoring a game-high 24 points and six assists in NIU’s 76-59 upset of Loyola on Friday night.
The Swiss shot 64.3% (9-14) from the field and 54.5% (6-11) from beyond the arc in his second collegiate game. Ducommun scored 15 of the Huskies’ first 20 points and started the game 5-for-5 on 3-pointers. He finished with NIU’s highest single-game point total this season, surpassing Jao Ituka’s 19 in the season opener.
Ducommun is the second NIU men’s basketball player to be named Huskie of the Week this season, joining Ituka (Nov. 10).
The next Huskie of the Week will be announced Dec. 1.
The Northern Star sports section’s Huskie of the Week is voted for on a weekly basis. Student-athletes considered for this week’s edition were selected based on their performance in competitions taking place from Nov. 17 to Nov. 23.
