Jake Baldwin Named To D3Hoops.com National Team Of The Week

Piedmont College men's basketball player Jake Baldwin has been honored by D3Hoops.com as a selection on the website's national Team of the Week. Baldwin, this week's Great South Athletic Conference Player of the Week, was named the Most Valuable Player after leading the Lions to the Roger Taylor Invitational championship at NC Wesleyan College.

Last week, he averaged 30.3 points and 9.0 rebounds over three games. He scored a career-high and tournament record 42 points in the Lions' tournament semifinal victory over Wesley (DE) College including 17-of-20 from the field. The Lions' lone loss was a 72-68 road loss at Southern Poly - ranked #12 in the NAIA Division-I polls. His two double-doubles on the week upped his season total to four.

The D3Hoops.com honor is the first-ever for the Piedmont College men's basketball team.
