HANOVER, N.H. — The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced its Academic All-America Teams for men's basketball today with Dartmouth guard
James Foye named to the second team for the second consecutive year.
An economics major with a 3.97 GPA, Foye was one of the top perimeter shooters in the Ivy League for the last two years and started every game for the Big Green. The senior tri-captain averaged 9.7 points a game while hitting 60 3-pointers with 42.6 percent accuracy, making him the only player in the conference to make at least two per game at better than a 40-percent clip. In addition, the native of Hamilton, Massachusetts, led Dartmouth with 62 assists and an assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly 2.0 (32 turnovers) while hauling in 3.2 rebounds a night.
Foye finished his career with 646 points (7.0 per game) and 124 3-pointers — 11th all-time for the Big Green — hitting 40.3 percent to rank fourth on the Dartmouth career list. He is the first Dartmouth men's basketball player to earn Academic All-America honors twice (or even once) since Sea Lonergan '97 made the first team in 1995-96 and the second team as a senior in 1996-97. The only other two-time selection is John Mackay '90, named to the third team in each of his final two seasons with the Big Green.
Foye is also a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award for having notable achievements in four areas of excellence — community, classroom, character and competition. Fans can vote for him online at http://www.seniorclassaward.com/vote through March 23.
Dartmouth (12-17, 5-9 Ivy) had its season come to an end this past weekend having won more games overall and in the Ivy League since the 2014-15 campaign.
Notes: Only one other Ivy Leaguer was on any of the three teams announced today. Cornell junior Jimmy Boeheim joined Foye on the second team.
