Defense Player of the Week: Hayden Diekhans, Montana Tech
Diekhans, a junior forward from Geraldine, Mont., was selected as the Defense Player of the Week.

The Orediggers’ defense allowed only 60.5 points per game, leading the Frontier, and is second in the NAIA.  That defense is led by Diekhans.

In a pair of wins, he pulled down 12 defensive rebounds (6.0 defensive rebounds per game) for the 11th ranked Montana Tech.  He also accounted for three steals and two blocks for the week.

This is Diekhans’ third career Erck Hotels / Frontier Conference Player of the Week award.
