Snow, Eagles honored

The Big Sky All Conference awards were announced today, and senior guard Alvin Snow from Eastern Washington University was given the Most Valuable Player honors. Chosen along with Snow -- who became the first Eagle to ever receive three-straight all-conference awards -- was junior forward Marc Axton, the second time he has been selected, and senior point guard Brendon Merritt.

Forward/center Matt Nelson was named the freshman of the year. Nelson improved his play after entering the starting lineup toward the end of December, and has started every game in conference play.

The Eagles were the only team that had more than two players named to the all-conference team, and only Idaho State, with forward Scott Henry and former Eagle Marquis Poole, had two players named.
