D3hoops.com All-Middle Atlantic Region Team
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – For the third year in a row, junior center
Andrew Powers of the Gettysburg College men's basketball team has been named to the D3hoops.com All-Middle-Atlantic Region Team, the website has announced.
Named to the all-region second team, Powers is coming off another outstanding season in which he averaged 19.3 points per game to become just the second Centennial Conference scoring champion at Gettysburg and the first since Bill Davidson '00 in 2000 (18.2 ppg). He posted 12 games of scoring 20 or more points, including a season-high 30-point effort in a win at Washington (Md.) College and a 28-point outing in the Centennial Conference championship game at Franklin & Marshall College.
Currently the 53rd-leading scorer in Division III, he also finished sixth among the Centennial Conference leaders in field-goal percentage (52.0%), eighth in rebounding (6.8 rpg), and eighth in free-throw percentage (76.8%).
Powers helped Gettysburg finish 15-11 and 12-6 in the Centennial Conference, good for a second-place finish in the conference standings, en route to being named First Team All-Centennial Conference – his third straight all-conference selection. The Bullets went on to reach the conference championship game for the third year in a row, coming up just four points shy of 20th-ranked F&M in the title game.
Powers was a
D3hoops.com First Team All-Region selection each of the past two years and was the
D3hoops.com Middle-Atlantic Region Player of the Year last season.
A three-time member of the
D3hoops.com Team of the Week this season, he was also named the Centennial Conference Player of the Week twice.
For his career, Powers ranks sixth all-time at Gettysburg in scoring with 1,426 points. He is also second in free throws made (409) and attempted (548), sixth in steals (113), eighth in field goals made (495), and eighth in field-goal percentage (53.0%).
The
D3hoops.com All-Region teams are nominated by and voted on by Sports Information Directors, who vote for 10 players in their region. SIDs vote for six frontcourt players and four backcourt players, to ensure balance.
