Three from CAC Named to D3hoops.com All-Region Squad

D3hoops.com All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team

The Christopher Newport duo of Tim Daly and Marcus Carter and Salisbury's Wyatt Smith represented the Capital Athletic Conference on the D3hoops.com All-Mid-Atlantic Region Men's Basketball team, announced Monday. 

Daly led the way as a first-team all-region selection, while Carter and Smith were both selected to the second team. 

Daly, a senior, was honored as the Player of the Year in the CAC this season. The big man averaged 12 points and seven rebounds per game. Carter, a junior, was named All-American last season as a sophomore. He posted an average of 13 points and seven rebounds per contest this season for the Captains.

Both Daly and Carter went over the 1,000-point mark for their careers this season, and the duo led the CNU squad to its second-straight CAC regular and post-season titles. CNU's season came to a close Friday night in suburban Boston, as the Captains were defeated by Keene State in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Christopher Newport had a 21-game winning streak snapped, and the Captains ended the campaign with a mark of 27-3.

Smith, a first-team All-CAC and second-team ECAC all-star, led the Sea Gulls in scoring with 15.5 points per game while pulling in eight rebounds per contest. He was named the CAC Player of the Week three times during his senior season, and finished his two-year career in maroon and gold with 801 points and 423 rebounds while blocking 76 shots, which is sixth in program history.

The Sea Gulls went 20-8 this season, finishing second in the CAC in the regular season and advancing to the league championships game and earning an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament.
