KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Rising redshirt junior Akwasi Yeboah, along with graduated seniors Bryan Sekunda and Tyrell Sturdivant of the Stony Brook men's basketball team were named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court, as announced by the organization Tuesday morning. To be named to the Honors Court, student-athletes must be a junior or senior academically with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher by the end of the 2017-18 academic year. 

This is the first of such honors for Yeboah, who was named to the America East All-Conference Second Team following the 2017-18 season. The Chigwell, England, native and health science major led the team in scoring and rebounding, averaging 15.3 points and 5.1 boards per game. Sekunda, a two-time America East All-Academic Team honoree, graduated in May with a degree in business management. A native of State College, Pennsylvania, Sekunda finished his career playing in 138 games, shooting .362 from beyond the arc. Along with Sekunda, Sturdivant earned Honors Court accolades for the second time in his career. The Chester, Pa., native started 24 of the team's 32 games in his final season and led the team in steals, while ranking third in assists and rebounds. Sturdivant also graduated in May with a degree in business management. 

As a team, the Seawolves were recently the recipients of an NABC Academic Excellence Award, given to a team with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better for the 2017-18 season.
