Pepin Garners D2CCA All-Atlantic Region Second Team Honors

 The Division II Collegiate Commissioners Association (D2CCA) announced on Friday afternoon that East Stroudsburg University men's basketball forward Carlos Pepin was named to the D2CCA All-Atlantic Region Second Team.

Pepin continues to garner accolades after becoming the fifth Warrior to earn PSAC Eastern Division Athlete of the Year last week along with a PSAC East First Team selection.  The Lodi, N.J. native did it all for the Warriors (19-7), leading ESU in scoring (14.9 ppg), field goal percentage (56.3 percent), rebounding (7.9 rpg) and steals (1.9 steals per game). A consistent scorer, Pepin reached double figures in scoring in 22 of 27 games on the season and posted seven double-double performances. His seven double-doubles are tied with Steve Harris for the sixth most in a single season.

In the PSAC this season, Pepin ranked 19th in scoring, eighth in rebounding, fourth in field goal percentage, fifth in steals per game. Among ESU's eight division foes, the Lodi N.J. native's balanced game ranks sixth in points, fourth in rebounding, second in field goal percentage and second in steals. He reached 20-plus points during five contests, including a monstrous 26-point 21 rebound performance against Kutztown.

Along with Pepin, the D2CCA All-Atlantic Region Second Team featured Pitt-Johnstown's John Paul Kromka, Ethan Porterfield from Indiana (PA), Fairmont State' Isaiah Sanders and Glenville State's John Williams Jr.
