Rosen named all-Ivy, Harvard's Wright is POY

 

Penn junior point guard Zack Rosen was named first-team all-Ivy for the second straight season, becoming the 17th player in program history to earn the honor in consecutive years — but unlike last year, Rosen was not a unanimous selection in 2010-11.

Rosen led the Quakers, averaging 14.3 points per game and was second in the league in assists (6.2). He also led the Ancient Eight in minutes per game (37.4). He's joined on the all-Ivy rosters by senior Jack Eggleston, who was named an honorable mention. Eggleston finished 10th in the league in scoring (13.6 ppg) and third in rebounding (7.9 per game). As captains, both players brought intangibles to the team that are likely surpassed by statistics.

Earning the league's top honor of Player of the Year is Harvard's Keith Wright, who finished third in the League in scoring (14.9) and had a league leading .588 field goal percentage. He was also second in rebounds per game (8.5).

Brown freshman Sean McGonagill received the Rookie of the Year award.

The rest of the all-Ivy honors are as follows:
