All-Met teams

Meant to post this earlier, then that all-too-pesky print edition got in the way:

For the third straight year, a Thompson was named first-team all-Met. For the second straight year, that Thompson was Ryan, who joined Player of the Year Charles Jenkins of Hofstra; Seton Hall's Jeremy Hazell; LIU's Jaytornah Wisseh and Stony Brook's Muhammed El-Amin on the first team.

Stony Brook's Steve Pikiell was named Coach of the Year, while Fordham's Chris Gaston beat out Fairfield's Derek Needham for Rookie of the Year.

Needham, though, was named to the third team along with Wesley Jenkins and Rico Pickett. Anthony Johsnon, a first-team all-MAAC pick, was named to the second team.
