Kudos for Basketball Players Shacun Malave and Camille Manning
Camille Manning with Coach Brenda Alexander
Players from both City Tech's men's and women's basketball team were named to Division III .All-Atlantic Region teams. Shacun Malave, City Tech's 6'7" junior center and 2003-2004 CUNYAC "Player of the Year" was named to the All-Atlantic Region First Team and Camille Manning, a 5'8" junior guard on the women's basketball team, was named to the All-Atlantic Region Third Team.
Malave scored 549 points this season in 28 games (19.6 points/game), pulled down 299 rebounds (10.7 rebounds/game), had a field goal percentage of 56.3% (200-355), and blocked 167 shots (6.0 blocks/game, second in the nation to Lincoln University's John Bunch). Malave was named "CUNYAC Player of the Week" three times and "ECAC Player of the Week" once this season.
He has 884 points for his career and is the all-time City Tech leader in scoring average with 19.6 points/game, and in blocks with 241. Several of City Tech's career records should be within his grasp next season.
Malave's Yellow Jacket team finished with a 16-12 record, advancing to the finals of the CUNYAC Men's Basketball Championship with victories over Baruch in the quarterfinals and College of Staten Island in the semifinals, before losing a tough CUNYAC Men's Basketball Championship match to Lehman College. The team was selected to play in the first round of the ECAC Metropolitan NY-NJ playoffs, but lost to eventual ECAC champion Ramapo College. The results of this season are an extraordinary rebound from last year's 6-20 record.
Camille Manning, who finished her season as the nation's leading scorer in Division III with 555 points (24.1 points/game), is the all-time scorer in City Tech women's basketball. She scored her 1,000th point versus the College of St. Elizabeth (NJ) on Jan. 17, 2004. She now has 1,271 points in her career, with a remaining year of eligibility. Manning scored 30 or more points in a game seven times this past season.
City Tech is proud of the achievements of all of its student athletes, even as we focus on the post-season recognition, richly deserved, that has been showered on Malave and Manning.
