Angle Nominated for D3 Commissioners Association Student-Athlete Award
CLAREMONT, Calif. - Josh Angle of the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's basketball team was selected by the SCIAC as one of the league's two nominees for the D3 Commissioner's Association Men's Sports Student-Athlete of the Year, the conference office announced today.
The D3 Commissioner's Association Awards recognize graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership.
Angle was a D3hoops.com third-team All-America selection for the Stags, after averaging 21.5 points per game to rank in the top 20 in the nation. He was also in the top 10 (eighth) in three-point percentage at 45.0 and scored in double figures in every game, with a low of 14. He helped CMS into the national rankings on opening week with 37 points in a win over No. 2 Mary Hardin-Baylor and led the Stags to a 21-5 final record.
Academically, Angle graduated with a 3.93 GPA from Claremont McKenna, with both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from the Robert Day School. He was voted the Division III Men's Basketball Academic All-American of the Year from the College Sports Communicators and was one of 10 finalists for the Josten's Award, given to the top men's basketball student-athlete in Division III.
Around campus, Angle provides in-class notes for several economics and finance courses for the disabled through CMC's accessibility services. He serves as a resident assistant in the CMC apartments overseeing 150 students, and serves as a success coach to his schoolmates through the Dean of Students' office, providing peer-to-peer coaching, which consists of six 30-minute sessions per week to present training in time management, organization, and networking.
By earning one of the SCIAC's two nominations, along with Sam Sasaki of Pomona-Pitzer men's water polo, Angle will advance through to the next round of voting, when regional selections will be made on August 10.
