Bearcats Rodriguez All-Conference Pick

The Binghamton Bearcats' Willie Rodriguez has been named an America East Preseason All-Conference selection in voting by the conference's coaches. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own players.  Rodriguez was a member of the America East All-Rookie Team in 2015.  Last year he earned Third-Team All-Conference honors when he averaged 15.1 points per game and 6.7 rebounds per contest.

Joining Rodriguez on the America East Preseason All-Conference team are: Sophomore Joe Cremo from the Albany Great Danes, Junior Jairus Lyles from UMBC, Junior Jahad Thomas from UMass Lowell, Junior Tanner Leissner from New Hampshire and Junior Trae Bell-Haynes from Vermont.

Rodriguez scored 20 or more points in seven games last season and hit for 17 points in the Bearcats' America East Quarterfinal game against Stony Brook.  Rodriguez will lead Binghamton into the season opener on November 11 at the Events Center when the Bearcats host the Cornell Big Red.
