BRIDGEWATER, N.J. - Three FDU men's basketball players were announced Tuesday as members of the 2023-24 All-Northeast Conference Teams. Junior forward Ansley Almonor was tabbed to the First Team All-NEC, senior forward Sean Moore to the Third Team and freshman guard Terrence Brown to the NEC All-Rookie Team.

The #5 Knights begin their postseason quest tomorrow, Wednesday, March 6 at 7 p.m. ET at #4 Le Moyne in the quarterfinal of the 2024 Northeast Conference Championship live on NEC Front Row and the NEC on the Run app.

After earning Third Team All-NEC honors as a sophomore and now rising to the First Team, Almonor, last season's NEC Most Improved Player, has become a force from three-point land. The leading three-point shooter in the Northeast Conference, Almonor boasts 92 made triples in 2023-24, tied for the second-most in a single season at FDU. Averaging three treys a game, the Spring Valley, N.Y. native etched 518 points this season, including his 1,000th career point, scored at LIU on Feb. 15 in the second half.

One of the all-time great three-point shooters at FDU, currently sitting tied for fourth, Almonor currents ranks No. 15 in Division I in total three-point makes 30th out of 345 players in three-pointers per game (2.97). 

Of Almonor's 1,090 points and counting, more than 92 percent have come over the past two seasons. In 31 appearances and 30 starts, Almonor shot at a 43.75 percent clip from the field (175-400), including a nearly 40 percent mark from distance (92-233). Averaging more than 16 points a night, Almonor nabbed 160 rebounds, dished 52 assists and made a defensive presence with 21 blocks and 15 steals in his third season at FDU.

Almonor's 30 points at Le Moyne on Feb. 24 set a new career-high and his 11 made buckets against Jacksonville in the Urban-Bennett Memorial Classic on Nov. 25 also set a new career best.

Almonor was a two-time NEC Player of the Week this season.

Garnering his first NEC postseason recognition is Sean "Fuzz" Moore, a transfer from St. Thomas Aquinas in his second season at FDU. Moore, tabbed to the Third Team All-NEC, was among the NEC's leading rebounders this season, averaging 8.0 boards a conference game, 7.6 overall. With 366 points as a senior, Moore, from Columbus, Ohio, shot almost 40 percent from the field (133-333) and tickled the twine on 71 three-pointers. Getting the job done on the defensive end, Moore recorded 29 steals with 17 blocked shots, the 11th most in the NEC.

Working his way into the starting lineup as a freshman, Minneapolis, Minn. native Terrence Brown joins current Knights Joe Munden Jr. and Sébastien Lamaute as FDU honorees on the NEC All-Rookie Team. Brown averaged nearly eight points a game in his rookie campaign and ranked ninth in the NEC in steals (second among all freshman) with 46. Brown also ranked 15th in the NEC in assists (67).

In the scoring column, Brown made 85 field goals (40 percent), including 19 triples and contributed 88 rebounds.

Merrimack's Jordan Derkack was named the NEC Player of the Year and the Warriors' Adam "Budd" Clark was named Rookie of the Year. Former FDU assistant coach Patrick Sellers, now the head coach at Co-Regular Season Champion Central Connecticut, was named the NEC's Jim Phelan Coach of the Year.
