THREE SAINTS NAMED TO ALL-CCAC TEAM
For
Immediate Release
March 4, 2005
Three
University of St. Francis men’s basketball
players were recently selected to the
all-Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference
team after a vote by league coaches.
Senior
center Jon Womack (Stagg H.S./Palos
Hills, IL) and sophomore guard Eric
Epps (Rich South H.S./Matteson, IL)
were both named to the first team, while
senior forward Brandon Krug (Dwight
H.S./Dwight, IL) was picked to the
second team.
Womack,
who garnered second-team honors a year
ago, led the Saints and placed third in
the CCAC in scoring (13.9 per game), rebounding
(7.5 per game) and field goal percentage
(.589).
Womack,
one of the top USF players ever, is fifth
in team history in career rebounds (715),
seventh in games played (120, tied) and
10th in both scoring (1,224) and field
goals made (486). His .589 field goal
percentage this season is seventh best
all-time by a Saint.
Epps,
a point guard, was first in the CCAC in
assists per game (5.30), second in steals
per game (1.85) and third in assist-to-turnover
ratio (1.51 to 1) and free throw percentage
(.800).
Epps,
who averaged 11.9 points per game, recorded
St. Francis’ second-largest single-season
totals ever this year with his 175 assists
and 61 steals. Furthermore, his 136 made
free throws are the third most in USF’s
record book.
Krug,
a second-team all-conference performer
a year ago, was the CCAC leader in 2004-05
in blocks (62) and blocks-per-game average
(2.00 per game) in addition to finishing
fourth in three-pointers made per game
(2.32) and ninth in rebounding (6.0).
Despite
playing just three seasons at St. Francis,
Krug, second on the team this year’s
team with a 12.3 scoring average and the
leader with 72 treys, has the program
record for career blocks with 170.
The
Saints finished the season with a 5-28
overall record and a 4-8 mark in the CCAC,
which placed them fifth among seven teams.
