|
|
 Pete Barry, who picked up his 400th win during the NCAA Tournament, was named the Northeast Region Coach of the Year.
Johnson, who took a year off last season, also earned second team honors in the 2005-’06 season. He led Coast Guard this season with 14.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and a .549 field goal percentage. He was a first-team All-conference selection for the second time in his career.
Sowers, who earns All-region honors for the first time in his career, was also named first-team All-conference for the first time in his career this season. He was second on the team with 13.1 points to go with his team-high 86 assists, 49 steals and 77 three-point baskets for a team best 40.7 percent from behind the arc.
Sowers leaves as the Bears all-time leader in assists (400) and 3-point baskets (266) and he is second all-time with 1,518 points. Sowers, classmate Grant Johnson and current assistant coach Sam Cheung (‘02) are the only three players in school history to score 1,000 points and record 300 assists.
Barry earns Northeast Region Coach of the Year honor for the first time in his career, as he led the team to its second straight NEWMAC tournament championship and three wins and a berth in the Elite 8 of the NCAA Division III tournament. The victory that got the Bears to the Sweet 16 was especially sweet as it was the 400th career win for Barry, who then picked up his 250th win at Coast Guard with the win in the Sweet 16. Barry is Coast Guard’s all-time leader with 250 wins in 18 seasons.
Coast Guard won a school-record 24 games and finished 24-7 overall.
