WESTWOOD, Mass. –

After stellar 2024-25 seasons, senior guard Declan Rooney(Seattle, WA) and junior forward Luke Farrell(Ortley Beach, NJ) have been named Second Team All-Conference in the NEWMAC. "It is great to see both guys recognized for their efforts" said head coach Kevin Jaskiewicz.

For Rooney, this is his second selection to the All-Conference team. This year, he ranked 8^th in the NEWMAC in points(368), 10^th in three pointers(37), tied 5^th in assists(82), 5^th in assist to turnover ratio(1.2), and 8^th in steals(38). Declan; as steady as they come for the Bears, started in all but one game this season and played the 3^rd most minutes in the whole league.

"Declan has given a lot to the program over the last four years." said coach Jaskiewicz. "To be named All-NEWMAC for a second year is quite an accomplishment."

Declan will graduate in May with his finger prints all over the Coast Guard basketball record book. He is tied for 10^th all-time in points(1174), 9^th in assists(249), 10^th in steals(103), 7^th in three pointers made(146), and 4^th in free throw percentage(82.4).

Junior forward Luke Farrell is on the All-NEWMAC team for the first time in his career after a breakout junior season. In the conference, he ranked 1^st in blocks(36), 5^th in points(383), 2^nd in free throws made(104), and 7^th in rebounds(159).

Coach Jaskiewicz said the following on Farrell's selection: "Luke Farrell has had a breakout season and he has become one of the top performers in the NEWMAC. His 37-point game against MIT was the most by any player in the league."

Farrell will lead a strong core of returners for the Bears into next season.

Congratulations to Declan and Luke on this accomplishment!
