NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Saint Anselm's Will Davies, the Northeast 10 Conference Player of the Year, led a group of five conference players selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District Team for the East Region on Monday.
Davies - who was also named Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) East Region Player of the Year - was joined on the NABC All-District First Team by Bentley's Cash McClure and Southern New Hampshire's Jojo Wallace. The NE10 also had a pair of players on the Second Team, with Bentley's Cooper Farrall and Saint Anselm's Josh Morissette recognized.
All five players were chosen to the D2CCA All-East Region teams earlier this month, with Davies and Wallace earning First Team status.
All-District honors are voted on by NABC-member coaches across NCAA Division II. The East district includes institutions from the NE10, East Coast Conference (ECC) and Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC).
Davies is the 23rd First Team selection in Saint Anselm history. He ranked second in all of Division II with 7.1 assists per game this season, while averaging 13.7 points per game and shooting 51.6% from the field. Morissette led the Hawks in scoring with 17.8 points per game and set a pair of program records in three-pointers made (119) and free throw percentage (88.0%). Both players led Saint Anselm to the NE10 Championship title and an appearance in the NCAA Division II East Region Championship game.
McClure averaged 16.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists this season for Bentley, including seven double-doubles. Farrall finished as the leading scorer and rebounder for the Falcons with 17.0 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. They are the first Bentley teammates to earn NABC All-District honors since Zach Laput (First Team) and Matt Leritz (Second Team) in 2023.
Wallace was a prolific scorer this season, averaging 24.8 points on 47.8% shooting for SNHU, including 41.2% from three-point range. He scored double-figures in all 28 games and tallied 20 or more points in the final 16 games of the season. He scored an NE10 Championship single-game record of 48 points in a victory over Bentley in the first round. He led the entire East Region in scoring, total points and field goals made - while ranking second in minutes played.
