2017 Feb 22

The Rockford University men's basketball program received good news Wednesday morning when two of its players were honored by the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference for their performances on the court this past season. Senior Zach Wallace (Rockford, Ill.) highlighted the group by earning two separate awards. Wallace was voted First Team All-NACC and was also selected NACC Defensive Player of the Year. Freshman Ben Weber (South Beloit, Ill.) also garnered recognition as he was voted to the NACC All-Freshman Team.

Ben Weber was the other Regent to earn recognition on Wednesday when he was selected to the the NACC All-Freshman Team. Weber made an immediate impact this season playing in all 25 games including 21 starts and averaging 31.2 minutes per game. Amongst the five individuals on the NACC All-Freshman Team, Weber averaged the second most points (10.5 ppg) and the third most rebounds (3.4 rpg). He was also Rockford's main threat from beyond the arc as he drained a team-high 52 three-pointers.
