ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. − Senior forward Bryan Borstelmann (Bradenton, Fla./Manatee HS) earned first-team all-Independent Collegiate Athletic Association's men's basketball team in a release on Monday (Mar. 17). Freshman guard #D.J. Ferguson# (Orlando, Fla./Bishop Moore HS) was named to the second-team and also earned Freshman of the Year honors. Freshman guard John Pietkiewicz (Winter Park, Fla./New Hampton (N.H.) Prep) took home third-team honors. Head Coach Bo Clark was selected as Coach of the Year.

The ICAA is comprised of eight independent NCAA Division II schools: Central State University of Ohio; Chowan University; Columbia Union College; the University of the District of Columbia; Flagler College; North Greenville University; Palm Beach Atlantic University and Tiffin University. The teams were selected by ICAA coordinator Mike Bond and a representative from each school.

Borstelmann, a pre-season all-ICAA selection, played and started in all 27 games for the Saints. He averaged 14.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. He made 69 3-point field goals and blocked 33 shots. Borstelmann had four double-doubles this season and scored a career-high 32 points in a 108-88 win over Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (11/24/07). He finished his career as the school's fifth leading scorer with 1,394 points. Borstelmann is second in 3-pointers made (234) and blocked shots (123) and third in rebounds (774).

Ferguson earned second-team honors in just his first year running the point. He set a school record for assists in a game with 16 (vs. Allen, 1/15/08) and assists in a season with 207. Ferguson recorded four double-doubles (points and assists) and recorded a season-high 19 points in the same game against Allen. He had fewer than six assists in only four games last year. Ferguson played and started in all 27 games. Last week he was selected to the ICAA All-Freshman Team.

Pietkiewicz was selected to the third-team after leading the Saints in scoring, averaging 15.1 points per game and in 3-pointers made with 81. He shot 37.9% from 3-point range and 86.1% from the free throw line. His 3.6 assists per game were second to Ferguson's 7.7 per game. Pietkiewicz scored in double figures in 18 of the 27 games he played including a season-high 31 point performance against Allen (1/15/08). He also was selected to the ICAA All-Freshman Team last week.

Head Coach Bo Clark was selected as the Coach of the Year after taking his team from 14-13 a year ago to 20-7 and this season. He completed his 22nd year at Flagler and his overall record stands at 399-232. This is Clark's fourth Coach of the Year award, but the first time as the ICAA Coach of the Year.
