DETROIT -- Junior point guard Jordan Briggs (Muskegon, Mich.) was named GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career on Monday, as announced by the league office.

Last week in a pair of Wayne State wins, Briggs averaged 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.0 steal per game while shooting 51.3 percent (20-of-39) from the floor.  The third-year Warrior splashed in six of his 14 three-point attempts (42.9 percent) and went 7-of-8 at the free throw line. 

Against Davenport on Thursday night, a 77-68 victory, Briggs led the Warriors to a season sweep of the Panthers with a game-high 26 points.  The WSU point guard then upped that point total to a game-high 27 on Saturday as Wayne State snapped 14th-ranked Grand Valley State's nine-game winning streak with a final score of 70-68.

Briggs' season average for points is up to 17.8 per contest, which is good for fifth in the conference.  His 43.8 percent field goal percentage ranks fourth as does his 87.0 efficiency at the charity stripe.  This season alone, the Green and Gold's floor general has accounted for 20 or more points in seven outings.

Briggs and his teammates will stay at home this week to host Northern Michigan on Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. and Michigan Tech on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m.
