Feb. 19, 2024 - North Central College men's basketball student-athlete Ethan Helwig has been recognized by the head coaches of the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) with a selection to the 2023-2024 All-CCIW Second Team.

Helwig is a first-time All-Conference honoree and leads in scoring (11.4 points per game) and rebounding (6.7 rebounds per game) this season. At the close of the regular season, Helwig ranks fourth in the CCIW in rebounds and 17th in scoring while sitting ninth in three-pointers made per game (2.0), and has turned in three double-doubles in points and rebounds this season. 

A three-year starter for the Cardinals, Helwig ranks seventh in the program's history in career three-pointers made and, with 957 career points, is 43 shy of becoming North Central's 31st 1,000-point scorer.
