Buzzards Bay, MA --- Junior teammates Robert Hunter (St. Louis, MO) and Dane Jobst (Athol, MA) have been named to the All-MASCAC Men's Basketball Team in a vote by the leagues head coaches as announced by league publicist Jim Seavey.

Hunter earned his second-consecutive nod to the first-team as he averaged 16.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.1 steals in 26 games.

He wrapped up his season second in the league in points per game, total points (437), field goal percentage (.518) and sixth in total rebounding (197) as he tied for sixth in rebounds per game and his 54 total swipes were seventh in the league standings. Hunter is also ranked 18th in New England in average scoring.

In MASCAC only games, Hunter was among the leaders in the conference with per game totals of 19.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.2 steals while he topped the league with 190 made field goals, without attempting a single three-pointer.

Among WSU single-season standouts to have attempted 350 shots, Hunter had the third-best clip. Since transferring his credits from Mass Bay Community College, he boosts two-year career totals of 857 points, 470 rebounds and 105 steals in 52 contests.

Jobst was an impact player as he matriculated from St. Joseph's (Vermont) this past season and boosted totals of 16.5 points and 12.1 rebounds in 25 games played.

He topped the MASCAC in average rebounding and he currently ranks fifth in the NCAA Division III in the category. Jobst also led the league in free throws made (133), finished third in average points and is ninth in free throw percentage (.747).

As of this past Sunday, Jobst's 17 regular-season double-doubles were second nationally.

The Lancers finished the season at 12-14 overall and 5-7 in MASCAC play under the direction of 19th year head coach Dave Lindberg. Making their eighth consecutive conference tournament appearance, the Blue and Gold were ousted in the first round on Tuesday by Salem State.
