Matheson, Greening Named First Team All-AMCC

Matheson, Greening Named First Team All-AMCC

Two University of Pittsburgh at Bradford men's basketball players were named to the All-Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference team, following an outstanding year on the court.

Eric Matheson and Evan Greening were both named to the first team.

I am extremely proud of both Eric and Evan for making first team. They both deserve the recognition," said Pitt-Bradford head coach Britt Moore. "Both players had opposing defenses designed to stop them and it just never happened. They both had outstanding individual success and that pushed our run to end the season."

Matheson capped off a storied career at Pitt-Bradford, averaging 19.4 points per game, which was second in the AMCC. The Ridgway native was second on the team in rebounding as well, posting 11.6 boards per game while also leading the team with 5.5 assists per game and 1.7 steals per game on the defensive end. Matheson averaged 37.6 minutes per game and was a two-time AMCC Player of the Week. He also became a member of the Pitt-Bradford 1,000 point club earlier this season.

"Eric was a relentless worker and improved dramatically over his three years here," Moore said. "He was the catalyst for everything we did. You don't have to look much further than the fact he played over one thousand minutes this season to see how valuable he was."

Greening finished the year averaging a team-high, and conference best, 20.5 points per game and 11.7 rebounds per game. He was the only player on the men's basketball team to average a double-double throughout the season. Greening, a junior transfer, also surpassed the 1,000 point mark for his career earlier this season. The Fredericksburg, Va. native was a three-time AMCC Player of the Week.

"We knew Evan was going to be good for us but he was a force down low all season," Moore said. "He racked up double doubles like it was easy."

The Panthers finished the season on a high-note, going 5-1 in their final six games before falling to Hilbert in the AMCC semifinals.
