Loyola's Brock, Bennett Named Preseason All-GCAC
NEW ORLEANS - The Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC) announced today
that Loyola men's basketball players Sean Bennett and Ryan Brock were
named to the Pre-Season All Conference team.
It is the second preseason accolade for Brock, who was tapped by the
Sporting News as Preseason All-American Honorable Mention. Last season,
the 6-3 junior forward from Brother Martin in New Orleans was named
All-GCAC as well as the conference's Newcomer of the Year. He led the
conference in scoring with 19.9 points per game with 518 points for the
season-fifth on the Loyola single season list.
The NAIA also named Brock All-American Honorable Mention for his 2008-09
campaign. Brock was also honored as Louisiana Small College Player of
the Year by the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches and second
team All-Louisiana by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.
Bennett, a 5-10 senior guard from Mandeville, was an All-GCAC selection
last season. The St. Paul's grad led the conference in free throw
percentage at a 86.0% clip, which was fourth in the NAIA. Bennett also
shot 41.4% from behind the three point arc- second in the GCAC.
Loyola opens the season on Friday, October 30 against Carver Bible. Tip
off in The Den is slated for 7 p.m. On Monday, November 9, the Wolfpack
will travel across the street in the Annual Battle of Freret Street game
against Tulane. The entire University community is invited to attend a
pregame Pep Rally located in the Residential Quad starting at 5 p.m. Tip
off is slated for 7 p.m. More information can be found at
