Albert Medoro Named to the NABC Mid-Atlantic Region First-Team

Reading, PA - Albright senior forward Albert Medoro (Exton,PA/West Chester Henderson) was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Mid-Atlantic Region First-Team Thursday afternoon. Medoro was named to the D3hoops.com All-Region Third-Team on Wednesday.

The NABC announced the NABC Division III All-District teams and coaches, recognizing the best men's collegiate basketball student-athletes and coaches in the division.  Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, these student-athletes represent the finest basketball players across America.  The 88 student-athletes, from eight districts, are now eligible for the State Farm Division III All-America teams, selected by the NABC.

Earlier this month Medoro was named the Commonwealth Conference Player of the Year, and was also named to the All-Conference First-Team. Medoro was the only player in the conference to average a double-double for the season, scoring 13.5 points and collecting 10.2 rebounds per game. He led the conference and ranked among the top 30 in the nation in rebounding while finishing fifth in the conference in scoring.

A dominant player in the low blocks for the Lions, Medoro added an outside game to his arsenal this winter, shooting 42.6% (20-47) from three-point range. For the season he shot 51.9% from the field, ranking ninth in the conference.

Two times this winter Medoro was honored as the Commonwealth Conference Player of the Week, earning the nod on December 17th and January 6th. He has also put his name in the Albright record books, as his average 10.25 rebounds per game this year ranks third on Albright's single-season rebounding list. On January 22 at Widener, Medoro grabbed a career-best 22 rebounds, the second-highest single game total in school history and one off the all-time Albright record.
