After a stellar senior season, Ruegg got his second-straight all-conference selection, leaving him high in the CC record books. He is fifth all-time in career three-pointers in CC history with 223 and had a career-high 76 threes this season, which is eighth-most in program history. It was also the fifth most in the conference this season.
Hendler had a standout sophomore season. The San Diego native was fourth on the team with 9.3 ppg and was eighth in the SCAC with a three-point percentage of 39.5, which also led the team.
It's Hendler's first career all-conference recognition.
