Zack Rosen unanimously selected Ivy League Player of the Year

Today, the Ivy League announced Penn senior guard Zack Rosen was voted Ivy League Player of the Year by the Ancient Eight coaches. Rosen becomes the first Penn player to be named to the honor since Ibrahim Jaaber won the award in the 2006-07 season.

Rosen is the 13th player in Penn history to earn the award, with the 13 men combining for 16 POYs, the most of any program in the Ancient Eight. Michael Jordan (1999-00), Ugonna Onyekwe (2001-02, 2002-03), Tim Begley (2004-05), and Jaaber (2005-06, 2006-07) are other Quakers who have won the award since 2000.

This season, Rosen led the Ivy League in scoring (18.5 points per game), three-point field goal percentage (40.7 percent), and minutes played (38.1 minutes per game). The senior guard also finished in the Top 10 in six other categories: assists (3rd, 5.2 per game), free throw percentage (3rd, 89.2 percent), three-pointers made (2.3 per game), assist-to-turnover ratio (5th, 1.8), steals (6th, 1.4 per game), and field goal percentage (9th, 45.7 percent).

Rosen was one of two players unanimously selected to the All-Ivy First Team, along with Princeton junior Ian Hummer. Others to receive the honor include Columbia's Brian Barbour, Cornell's Chris Wroblewski, Harvard's Kyle Casey, and Yale's Greg Mangano. Senior teammate Rob Belcore was the only other Penn player to earn All-Ivy honors, being named an honorable mention.

Rosen finishes his career at Penn as the Quakers' all-time leader in both assists and minutes, and third all-time in scoring, with 1,686 points.
