He helped the Falcons to a 27-4 record, tying the school record for single-season victories while establishing the best winning percentage (87.1%) in the 70-year history of the program.
Wall's last-second, 28-foot 3-pointer lifted SPU to a 72-70 win over second-ranked WWU in the championship game of the GNAC Tournament on Mar. 9 in Lacey, Wash.
