NEW YORK, N.Y. (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | Senior power forward Sam Toney (Plainfield, NJ/Williamstown) has been selected to the All-Met Division III team for the third time in his career by the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA), the organization announced Tuesday. Toney was named Second-Team All-Met for the 2019-20 season.
 
It's the latest regional award for Toney who was the MBWA's Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons in 2017-18 and 2018-19 when he was also voted First-Team All-Met. Toney is one of just two players from the New Jersey Athletic Conference honored this year.
 
2020 Division III All-Met Team | Second Team All-Met
2019 Division III All-Met Team | First-Team All-Met/Player of the Year
2018 Division III All-Met Team | First-Team All-Met/co-Player of the Year
 
Toney was previously voted Second-Team Division III All-ECAC by Eastern College Athletic Conference—the third consecutive year he was named All-ECAC. 
 
Toney, the 2018 and 2019 NJAC Player of the Year, was picked Second-Team All-NJAC this year. The 2019-20 DIII News Preseason Division III National Player of the Year had an outstanding season but on a strong offensive team, did not need to put up the dynamic statistics he had in years past.
 
Still, Toney, the 2018 and 2019 NJAC Player of the Year and two-time All-American concluded his career with 1,779 points—fourth in school history—817 rebounds, and a program-record 233 three-pointers. Toney produced 27th career double-doubles and four this season. He scored in double figures 90 times in 112 career games and 25 times in 28 games this year.
 
Toney finished the season with 417 points, 178 rebounds, 41 assists, 30 steals and 21 blocks in 797 minutes. He averaged 14.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks per game in 28.5 minutes per contest. He shot .420 from the field (139-331), .356 from three-point range (57-160) and .745 from the foul line (82-110).
 
He finished his career as the first Gothic Knight to be a four-time All-NJAC selection since Johnny Mayers from 1984-87—33 years ago. Mayers (1912 points) is directly above Toney on NJCU's all-time scoring list. 
 

Toney, a two-time NJAC Player of the Week this year, was a 2018-19 NABC First-Team All-American and finished his career as NJCU's only two-time All-American. He was the 2019 NJAC Male Athlete of the Year. Toney is just the fifth two-time NJAC Player of the Year in the NJAC since 1980.
