Men's Basketball: Hill receives GLVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year award

The Great Lakes Valley Conference has selected Rockhurst's Aaron Hill as the 2009-10 Scholar-Athlete of the Year in men's basketball.

Hill, who received his Master's in Business Administration in May, also received the GLVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year award in 2008-09. He was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America first team and ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District First Team in 2009-10.

In his senior year, Hill averaged 19.9 points per game for the Hawks, who finished with a 17-11 overall record. A two-time first-team All-GLVC selection and 2008-09 GLVC Player of the Year, Hill also earned All-American honors from Division II Bulletin the past two years.

The GLVC selects one student-athlete in each conference sport to be designated the GLVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. This award is based upon athletic accomplishments, both team and individual, and academic performance in the season upon which the award is based. Each conference member has the opportunity to nominate one individual from its team for the award. Nominees must have a cumulative grade point average which meets Academic All-American standards (3.30), and freshmen and first-year transfers are not eligible for the award. The voting is done by each institution's Faculty Athletic Representative.
