Feb.
18, 2008
Monmouth College senior center Joe Terwelp (Quincy, Ill./Notre Dame) was a big reason the Scots picked up two wins last week and earned his second Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honor in men’s basketball.
Terwelp averaged 20.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game over the two victories last week. On Wednesday, the 6-5 senior center helped lead Monmouth to a 58-52 come-from-behind win at rival Knox. He tallied 14 points and five rebounds in the game, as the Scots took their first lead with less than six minutes left and ended their arch rival’s postseason tourney chances with the win. Terwelp then posted a 27-point, nine-rebound game in a 77-66 win over Illinois College on Saturday, including a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line. He added four assists and three steals in the two games and currently ranks seventh or better in the MWC in scoring (16.5 ppg), rebounding (6.8 rpg) and field-goal percentage (.550).
A business major, Terwelp is the son of Lawrence and Joyce Terwelp
of Quincy

(Forest City, Ill./Midwest Central) made certain everyone noticed
his return to the lineup and earned the Midwest Conference Performer
of the Week honor in men’s basketball.
Playing in just his third game after missing the first half of
the season with an injury, Rogers lit up the competition as the
Scots posted back-to-back conference wins. Last Tuesday, the senior
scored 13 points while hitting 4-of-8 shots from 3-point range as
the Scots held off Lake Forest 68-67 to post their first win of the
season. Saturday, Rogers was at it again, pouring in a game-high 25
points as the Scots handed Illinois College their first league loss,
70-67. He helped the Scots hold off the Blueboys, hitting 11-of-13
free throws, including a critical 3-for-4 performance in the final
30 seconds. For the week, Rogers averaged 19 points and 5.5 rebounds
per game.
A history major, Rogers is the son of Bobby and Becky Rogers of
