DE PERE - St. Norbert College senior forward Connor Curtis and senior guard Joe Ciriacks earned first-team All-Midwest Conference honors as announced by the league office.

Curtis was a first-team All-MWC selection for the second consecutive season, while Ciriacks was a first-team choice after being a second-team honoree a year ago. Coach Gary Grzesk was also voted MWC Coach of the Year by his peers.

Curtis, a Green Bay native, is averaging 13.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game this season. Curtis is shooting 60.4 percent from the floor, converting on 128 of 212 field-goal attempts. He is also shooting just shy of 80 percent, making 78 of 98 free-throw attempts - good for 79.6 percent.

Ciriacks, an East Troy native, is averaging a team-high 14.0 points per game. He is shooting 45.3 percent (125-for-276) from the floor and almost almost 41 percent from beyond the three-point arc, making 70 of 172 treys (40.7 percent).

Grzesk earned MWC Coach of the Year honors for the eighth time, extending his conference-record total.

St. Norbert enters this weekend's MWC Tournament 22-3 overall. The Green Knights host Cornell College at 5 p.m. Friday in a semifinal game at Mulva Family Fitness & Sports Center.
