MC’s Terwelp earns second
MWC Performer of the Week honor Release Date:
February 19, 2008
 MONMOUTH, Ill. —
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.
