PITMAN, N.J. - Four TCNJ student-athletes garnered weekly conference honors, as announced by the NJAC this afternoon.
 
Men's Basketball's Lucas Dipasupil was named the conference's Player of the Week, while Hannah Simons (Diver of the Week), Dougie Cornish (Diver of the Week) and Michael Strucko (Rookie of the Week) continued a strong run of recognition for the women's and men's swim & dive teams, respectively.
 
Dipasupil was dominant over the weekend, posting the two highest-scoring games of his career by a wide margin as the Lions claimed runner-up honors at a tip-off tournament at Centenary. The sophomore averaged 31.0 points per game on a remarkable 66.7-percent shooting from the field, handing out nine assists against just two turnovers for the weekend.
 
He opened the season with a career-high 35 points on 14-of-21 from the field in an 89-82 win over the host Cyclones and poured in 27 more points on 12-of-18 shooting in the championship game against Drew. Dipasupil went 7-of-15 from 3-point range (46.7 percent) and also had a steal in each game.     
 
Simons is now a four-time Diver of the Week after notching her first regional cut of the year in the 1-meter at NYU. The junior logged a score of 256.35 which placed her fifth out of 12 divers.
 
Strucko –  the only rookie to win an individual event in TCNJ's meet at Salisbury last weekend – is a first-time honoree as the NJAC's Rookie of the Week. The freshman won both the 100 backstroke (57.86) and 200 backstroke (2:08.96) while also leading off TCNJ's A relay in the 200 medley (26.67).
 
Cornish, now a two-time NJAC Diver of the Week, came one step closer to qualifying for regionals in both boards. At the NYU Fall Invitational, Cornish placed first in both the 1-meter and 3-meter, achieving a regional cut in the latter with a mark of 278.50. The rookie has already qualified for the regional meet in the 1-meter and needs one more qualifying mark in the 3-meter.
