University of Indianapolis junior defensive back Andre Smith and junior kicker Scott Miller, as well as Truman State University senior quarterback Conrad Schottel have been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Players of the Week, it was announced by the league office Monday.  Schottel was named Offensive Player of the Week, Smith was picked as Defensive Player of the Week, while Miller was selected as Special Teams Player of the Week.

Handling place kicking, kickoff and punting duties for the Hounds, Miller had a solid all-around performance in the driving rain Saturday against Missouri S&T.  The Indianapolis, Ind., native racked up 10 points on the night, connecting on both field goal attempts and all four extra points, while also pinning the Miners deep with his effective kickoff and punting work.  Miller made good on a game-tying 20-yard field-goal attempt midway through the second quarter, and later split the uprights from 35 yards out to make it 17-3 in the third.  He also dropped all four of his punts inside the Miner 20-yard line with his rugby-style approach and also averaging 60.3 yards on seven kickoffs.  Also on the night, Miller became just the fifth-ever Greyhound and second kicker to surpass 200 career points.  His career field goal percentage of 75.6 is tops in the UIndy record books, and he is just nine extra points shy of breaking the school's career mark for PATs.  This is Miller's second career weekly nod as he was also recognized by the conference on Oct. 29, 2012 – the last time a 'Hound earned the league's special teams award.
