KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Seattle Pacific's
Divant'e Moffitt gained more regional acclaim when he was named to the Division II All-District Team that was announced on Monday by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
The Falcons point guard was selected to the five-man second team, matching the achievement he earned last week from the NCAA Division II Collegiate Commissioners Association.
Earlier this month, Moffitt received first-team All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference accolades for the second time.
The 6-foot-2 senior topped the Falcons and ranked second among GNAC scorers with a 19.3-point average. He was the team's leading playmaker with 3.8 assists per game and registered his first 100-assist season. His 103 assists were more than double the amount distributed by any of his teammates.
