Worcester, MA --- For the second consecutive year, WPI senior Antoine Coleman (Everett, MA) has been selected to the D3hoops.com All-Northeast Region third team. Players were nominated for these awards by the Sports Information Directors at the respective schools. All SIDs in the region were given the opportunity to vote.

Coleman, the NEWMAC Player of the Year, led the Engineers in scoring (14.5 ppg) and rebounding (6.0 rpg).  The senior forward has his best offensive season while also adding 40 steals, 38 assists and 14 blocks.  Coleman was a two-time first-team All-NEWMAC selection and a preseason D3hoops.com All-American this season. 

WPI captured the NEWMAC regular season during all four of his seasons as the senior trio of Coleman, Jim Marois (Worcester, MA) and Ryan Bourque (Nashua, NH) were an eye-popping 41-7 in conference regular season contests including 22-2 the past two seasons.  

During the 2007-2008 campaign, the Engineers posted a 21-6 overall record and an 11-1 mark in regular season conference play, four games ahead of its closest rival.  The Crimson and Gray earned a coveted at-large bid to the NCAA Division III Championships before dropping a tight 80-75 decision to 2006 national champion and 2007 finalist Virginia Wesleyan in the first round.
