Landmark Releases Men's Basketball All-Conference Team
MADISON, N.J. – Following a conference season in which six
teams finished within four games of first place 12 student-athletes
have been chosen to the 2011-12 All-Landmark Conference Men's
Basketball Team as selected by the conference's eight head coaches.
The team consists of a first and second team, with six players on
each team, and the selections made by position. The voting for the
All-Conference Team took place after the conclusion of the regular
season and prior to the start of the Landmark postseason.
The balance in the conference was evident in the selections as
seven teams claimed at least one selection, and all four postseason
qualifiers earned at least two spots. Susquehanna University
captured three selections while the individual honors were split
among three teams. United States Merchant Marine Academy sophomore
Reed Buck was voted Landmark Player of the Year, while The
University of Scranton, which finished atop the regular season
standings, had junior Travis Farrell and freshman Ross Danzig earn
Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors
respectively. Juniata College Head Coach Greg Curley and his staff
were voted the Coaching Staff of the Year.
Of the 12 selections, only three were carryovers from the
previous year, with four players on the team had been
All-Conference selections in the past. Farell and Luke Hawk of
Scranton were both repeat selections, while Drew's Asmar Capers
also was chosen for the second time. Susquehanna senior Spenser
Spencer was also a multi-time All-Conference pick. The junior class
was well represented with six All-Conference honorees while five
seniors were chosen in their final year of competition.
