    SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Freshman forward Andre Makris (Southbury, Conn.), crowned this year’s Commonwealth Coast Conference Rookie of the Year, headlined a group of four Endicott men’s basketball players who were named to the All-CCC Team this morning as it was announced by league commissioner Gregg M. Kaye.

    Voting for the All-CCC Team was conducted by the league’s head coaches and was based off a player’s performance over the entire season, not just against conference opponents.

    Makris, a four-time CCC Rookie of the Week honoree, ended the regular season averaging 13.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game as the rookie appeared in all 25 games for the Gulls this season.  He led all CCC freshman in scoring during the regular season and ranked ninth among all players.  He is also in the top-10 in rebounding.  Seventeen times this season he scored in double figures and four times he recorded a double-double.  

    Defensively, Makris led the team in blocks (43) at 1.7 per game which also ranked him top-50 in the country in that category.  He also recorded steals on the season. 

    Junior guard Lance Greene (Dorchester, Mass.) was named First Team All-CCC for the second year in-a-row after posting averages of 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game.  Greene ranked third in the league in assists behind CCC Player of the Year Ryan Birrell from Salve Regina and Max Barbosa from Eastern Nazarene.  He set career-highs in assists in a season (98) and single-game highs in assists (9 vs Roger Williams on 12/3). 

    Endicott’s three All-CCC Honorable Mention honorees were Makris, sophomore guard Lachlan Magee (Melbourne, Australia) and freshman guard John Henault (Lunenburg, Mass.).  All players are first time winners. 

    Magee is Endicott’s leading scorer at 13.6 points per game and ranks in the top-10 in the CCC in scoring, free throw percentage (66.2) and defensive rebounding (4.0).  He was a CCC Player of the Week winner after posting a career-high 34 points with 12 rebounds in a 78-60 Endicott win over Emmanuel on December 13th.  Magee led the Gulls by scoring at least 20 points in a game five times this season. 

    Henault, a two-time CCC Rookie of the Week winner, was the top freshman in three-point percentage (40.8), three-pointers made (42) and free throw percentage (80.9) this season.  Like Endicott’s other All-CCC winners, Henault started in at least 80.0% of his games played in 2011-12 while averaging 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals per game. 

    Endicott has not had four players earn All-CCC since the 1998-99 season when Player of the Year Eric Simonelli, Rookie of the Year Jamal Francis, and Second Team honorees Jason Diaz and Adam Lattanzi accomplished the feat. 

    The \#3 seed Gulls will host \#6 seed Roger Williams tonight at 8:00 pm at MacDonald Gymnasium in the CCC Quarterfinals.  Last year, Endicott edged Roger Williams 71-68 in overtime in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinal round.
