WALTHAM, Mass. – Three members of the Bentley University men's basketball team, all of whom averaged in double figures this past season, were named to the Division II Academic All-District 1 team by the College Sports Communicators for their excellence in the classroom and on the court.
They are sophomore forward
Cooper Farrall (Valparaiso, Ind./Culver Academies), junior guard
Cash McClure (Readfield, Maine/Maranacook HS) and graduate forward
Ivan Misic (Toronto, Ont.).
McClure and Misic were both recognized for the second straight season.
In order to be selected to the team, a student-athlete must have a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or better and be a starter or a significant contributor off the bench.
McClure, an economics-finance major who will advance to the national ballot after being selected as an Academic All-America finalist, received All-East honors from both the NABC (2
nd team) and the D2CCA (1
st team) and was chosen for first team All-Northeast-10 honors.
McClure averaged 16.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists this season. He was seventh in the conference in all three categories and was the only player in the region with at least 450 points, 195 rebounds and 100 assists.
Farrall, who also majors in economics-finance, led the Falcons in scoring (16.8) and rebounds (8.3) while earning second-team All-Northeast-10 accolades.
Farrall finished in the top six in the NE10 in both scoring and rebounds, and stepped it up down the stretch. In his final ten contests, he provided 19.5 points and 9.1 rebounds a game while shooting 52 percent overall, 47 percent from three and 88 percent at the foul line.
Misic, who is pursuing his master's in business analytics, led Bentley in three-pointers (55) and blocks (23) and was the team's number two shooter, both overall (.512) and from three-point territory (.440).
A 2024 quantitative economics major as an undergrad, the six-seven Misic averaged 10.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 24.8 minutes. He scored in doubles 13 times with a high of 30 at St. Michael's Feb. 19.
Bentley finished the season at 18-10 and tied for second in the Northeast-10.
