UMass Lowell men’s basketball senior guard Ayinde Hikim (Washington, D.C.) has been named River Hawk of the Week for his efforts in helping the River Hawks start the 2023-24 campaign with a 2-0 record.
Hikim averaged 20.0 points and 3.0 rebounds, while adding nine assists, four steals and two blocks last week. He shot 61.5% (16-26) from the field, including 50% (2-4) on threes.
The guard opened the new season with a game-high 15 points and six assists in a 96-51 win against Rivier on November 6. He followed that performance with a career-high 25 points in an 81-48 victory at Dartmouth on Nov. 10.
Hikim and the River Hawks are in the midst of a six-game road trip, and will visit Georgia Tech (Nov. 14) and Arizona State (Nov. 16) next.
The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen in voting by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications staff. It honors the top athlete, male or female, based on performance during the previous week of competition.
