D3hoops.com named the fifth annual D3hoops.com All-American team for Division III basketball, and Lehman College senior center Sekani Francis was selected as a third team All-American.
Francis, the two time CUNY conference Most Valuable Player, led the CUNY conference with 19.3 points per game to go along with 12.3 rebounds per game. The 6'10" center led Lehman to a 14-13 overall record, and an appearance in the ECAC post-season tournament.
"This is a great honor," said Francis. "To be selected as an All-American, is a testament to the hard work and commitment that I have given for the past two seasons."
Players were nominated by the Sports Information Directors at the various schools, who were contacted several times as the season wound down to remind them to make their players eligible. A total of 599 players were nominated nationwide.
The ballot was then made available to SIDs, who voted for 10 players in their region. SIDs voted for six frontcourt players and four backcourt players and the top vote-getters at each position were named to the All-Region team.
"We are thankful to the Sports Information Directors across Division III who took the time to nominate and vote to provide broader recognition to these worthy student-athletes," said D3hoops.com publisher Pat Coleman. "Their continued help and participation is integral to the All-Region team and everything else we do."
