Gordon College Athletics

Hans Miersma (Whitinsville, Mass.) has been named the Chick-fil-a Athlete of the Week after leading Gordon to a 2-1 week in Commonwealth Coast Conference play. 

With two of his senior teammates sidelined with injuries, Miersma picked up the slack to average 16 points, 14 rebounds and 4.3 blocks through three games. The 6'9" forward raised his season scoring average by half a point, totaling at least 14 points in every contest last week. He capped the week off with a dominant performance at home against Curry on Saturday afternoon, where he opened the game with a slam along the baseline. Miersma finished with 20 points, 19 rebounds and six blocks in the contest to give Gordon only its second home win of the season. 

Over the weekend, he was named one of the regions best shot blockers and is currently in the top three for rebounds and blocks of all active players in Division III.
