KLove honored

Whitworth's Kenny (Cardinal Newman High) Love has been named an All-American.

From Whitworth athletics:

"Whitworth sophomore Kenny Love has been named as a third team All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).

Love, the 2015 Northwest Conference Player of the Year, is one of only three sophomores listed on the 24-player squad.

Love moved into Whitworth's starting lineup as the Northwest Conference schedule got underway. In 16 league contests he averaged 14.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. He made 46% of his three-pointers and 85% of his free throws. He put up a career-high 26 points in a win over Linfield on January 9th and followed that up with 25 points in a win over Pacific on January 15th. 

He stepped up his game in the post-season, directing Whitworth's NWC semifinal win over Willamette with a career-high eight assists. He then scored 20 points in the NWC tournament final against Lewis & Clark. In two NCAA Division III tournament games in Atlanta he averaged 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists."
