Te Huki was simply amazing as the Pioneers went 2-0 during the week. He tied a school record for free throw percentage while hitting all 12 charity tosses in a 108-93 victory over Beloit College. Two days later, Te Huki erupted for a career-high 51 points with the aid of a 15-of-31 performance from 3-point land in a 166-95 win over Andrews University. His 15 treys rank fifth in program history and are the most for a Grinnell player since 2017. Te Huki leads all of NCAA Division III in scoring (27.1 points per game) and 3-pointers (5.27 per game). With a 12-3 mark, Grinnell is off to its best start since 2011-12.
