Duncan Earns All-American Honors by NABC

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Darren Duncan (Briarwood, NY) earned his second All-American nod in as many days as the junior captain was named to the 2009 State Farm Division II All-American men’s basketball team by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

Duncan, who was also an NABC preseason All-American, was a Daktronics All-American third team selection on Monday.

Duncan, the first All-American in Merrimack men’s basketball history since 1983, led the Warriors to the NCAA East Regional semifinals for the first time since 2000, leading the conference in scoring and assists. He ranked second nationally with 230 assists.

Duncan is one of two Division II point guards to be named a finalist for the Bob Cousy award, given to the top point guard in the country in all collegiate divisions. The lone captain on a Warrior squad that posted a 21-9 record, he has been named a Northeast-10 All-Conference first-team selection for the second straight season and was a preseason NABC All-American.

The only other player named to the team from the east region was Bentley’s Jason Westrol.
