Monroe Named to Division II Bulletin All-Freshman Team
HOUGHTON, Mich. – Michigan Tech's Kyle Monroe (Green Bay, Wis.) has been named to the Division II Bulletin All-Freshman Team, which was announced today by the publication.
Monroe, who was named the GLIAC Freshman of the Year in February, led all league freshmen and ranked sixth in the GLIAC in scoring during the 2015-16 season with an 18.7 average. He notched nine 20-point games and had two 30-point outings while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor this year.
The 6-foot-5 forward finished ninth in the GLIAC in rebounding with 6.9 per game and eighth in steals (1.4 per game). Monroe was Tech's leading scorer in 15 of 26 outings and finished nearly halfway to 1,000 points (485) after his rookie campaign.
Monroe's 485 points were the most ever scored by a Tech freshman and his per-game average of 18.7 was second-highest behind only Larry Grimes, who averaged 20 as a rookie and scored 480 points in his freshman season.
Monroe is the first Michigan Tech freshman to be honored on the Division II Bulletin All-Freshman Team since Jason Marcotte accomplished that feat in 2001-02.
