The junior guard, who was named the Horizon League's Preseason Player of the Year in October in voting of the League's head coaches, sports information directors and media, was named the Horizon League Player of the Week earlier in the day.

Felder opened the season with back-to-back double-double performances to earn Player of the Week honors.

The junior guard added two steals in the win and had just one turnover.

On Sunday, Felder again led all scorers with 23 points and handed out 10 assists in the Golden Grizzlies 95-89 loss at Colorado State.

Ten days into the regular season, Felder leads all Horizon League players in points per game (25.0) and assists per game (11.0), while ranking second in free throw percentage (94.7; 18-of-19) and third in assist:turnover ratio (3.7).
