Athletes honored

Five Central Lakes College basketball players have received post-season honors awarded by a vote of coaches in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference. Raiders earning a spot on the 15-person All-State Team were sophomores Marcus Ayala (repeating last year's honor) and Nash Faulk, who led CLC in scoring with averages of 16.4 and 15.5 respectively after 27 games of a 25-2 regular season that produced a share of the Southern Division title with Rochester. Named to the All-Southern Division Team were sophomore Kendall Brown and freshman Maurice Hernandez. Brown shot 54 percent and averaged 8.3 rebounds. Hernandez averaged 10.1 points, 6.3 rebounds. Stephanie Neugebauer, a sophomore, was the only Raider to earn honors in MCAC women's basketball voting. She earned Honorable Mention on the All-Southern Division Team. She was the Division's third best scorer at 17 points per game, shot 70 percent from the free-throw line (95-135, 9th in Division), averaged 7.32 rebounds (7th in Division), and was fifth in steals with 2.6 per game. CLC finishes with a record of 8-19 in women's play after going 6-19 the previous year.
