ECSU'S HILLIARD FEATURED IN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED'S FACES IN THE CROWD

Elizabeth City State's All-American guard Anthony Hilliard has been featured in the Faces in the Crowd section of the December 29th issue of Sports Illustrated, the nation's leading sports publication.

Hilliard was recognized for his MVP 33 point, 12 rebound performance versus Morehouse College in the championship game of the 2008 Fresh Coast Classic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin November 27-28. The reigning CIAA Player of the Year has led the Vikings to a 9-1 record (their best start since 1999-2000) and currently leads the CIAA in scoring (25.7), rebounding (11.6) and steals (2.3). In NCAA Division II his scoring and rebounding average rank 3rd and 9th overall.
