KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Senior Pete Rortvedt, a native of Minocqua, Wis., has been selected as a 2009 member of The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division III All-District team.

The NABC Division III All-District teams recognize the best men's collegiate basketball student-athletes and coaches in the division.

Rortvedt finished his Pointer career as the school's all-time leader in three-pointers (302) while also holding the marks for three-pointers in a game (9) and season (95). He finished his career ranked ninth on the all-time scoring list with 1,453 points. This season Rortvedt started all 27 games in which he played and finished as the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 12.9 points per game.

The Pointers finished the season 24-5, falling to then unbeaten and top-ranked St. Thomas in the second round of the 2009 NCAA Division III Tournament. The Pointers finished the season ranked No. 4 by D3hoops.com.

Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, these student-athletes represent the finest basketball players across America. The 88 student-athletes, from eight districts, are now eligible for the State Farm Coaches' Division III All-America teams, selected by the NABC.

Located in Kansas City, MO, the NABC was founded in 1927 by Phog Allen, the legendary basketball coach at the University of Kansas. Allen, a student of James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, organized coaches into this collective group to serve as Guardians of the Game. The NABC currently claims nearly 5,000 members consisting primarily of university and college men's basketball coaches. All members of the NABC are expected to uphold the core values of being a Guardian of the Game by bringing attention to the positive aspects of the sport of basketball and the role coaches play in the academic and athletic lives of today's student-athletes. The four core values of being a Guardian of the Game are advocacy, leadership, service and education. Additional information about the NABC, its programs and membership, can be found at www.nabc.com.
