MASON CITY - For the second straight week, NIACC sophomore point guard Omarion Roberts has been selected as the ICCAC Division II men's basketball player of the week.
Roberts also won the award for the week of Nov. 25-Dec. 1. Roberts is the first NIACC men's player to win the award in consecutive weeks since Al Davis won the award in back to back weeks in February of 2015 (Feb. 9-15 and Feb. 16-22).
