Three Titans Cited For Their Academic Successes
Three UW-Oshkosh men's basketball players earned recognition for their successes in the classroom by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
Senior Andre Wallace and juniors Kyle Bolger and Sean Dwyer were named to the 2015-16 NABC Honors Court, which recognizes student-athletes for outstanding academic achievement.
In order to be named to the NABC Honors Court, players must be juniors or seniors achieving a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.20 or higher from institutions competing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I, II, III or the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division I or II.
Wallace, a health and human services major with a 3.32 GPA, capped his four-year UW-Oshkosh career with 277 points and 238 rebounds in 90 games, including 51 as a starter.
Bolger, a business/marketing major with a 3.25 GPA, finished second on the team last season with 55 assists and 24 steals. During his first three seasons with the Titans, Bolger has amassed 491 points and 166 assists in 81 games, including 59 as a starter.
Dwyer, who sports a 3.70 GPA while majoring in finance and business analytics, connected on 34 3-pointers this season. In his three seasons with the Titans, Dwyer has totaled 309 points and 91 3-pointers in 71 games, including nine as a starter.
The WIAC had 16 student-athletes named to last year's NABC Honor Court, including Josh Hopfensperger and Michael Patt from UW-Oshkosh.
UW-Oshkosh compiled an 18-10 record during the 2015-16 season and finished second in the WIAC with a 9-5 mark. The Titans won the WIAC Tournament to earn their sixth appearance in the NCAA Division III Championship and first since 2003.
