ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Silvano Ismail, Saint Joseph's (Maine)

It was quite a year for the first-year from Portland, Maine as Silvano averaged 16.4 points per game on a league's third best 57% and a league-best 43.3% along with 6.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists.

COACH OF THE YEAR 

Tyler Ackley, Saint Joseph's (Maine)

Ackley led a league-leading offense which also placed top-fvive in the nation at 92.1 points per game to a 13-1 GNAC (24-4 overall) record. SJC earned the top-seed in this year's tournament under his helm and earned the league's automatic qualifying bid into this year's DIII NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament after winning the conference title this past weekend. His squad's success offensively was largely due to their ability to shoot from the three as they shot a league-leading 11.3 threes a game (ninth in DIII) while also collecting a league-leading 44.7 rebounds per game (fifth in the nation).
