The State University of New York Athletic Conference announced today the All-Conference Team for men's basketball and SUNY Oneonta had four players selected by the conference coaches for their on-court performance this season.  Earning second team recognition were juniors Michael Ortale Jr. (Bethlehem, NY/Bethlehem Central) and Dylan Trombley (Moriah, NY/Moriah) while senior Daniel Derice (Tampa, FL/Wesley Chapel) and sophomore Frankie Williams (Bronx, NY/Fannie Lou) earned third team honors.  All four players are being recognized for the first time of their careers.

"To have four players recognized as All-Conference is an amazing accomplishment," said Head Coach Cameron Conover.  "Mike, Dylan, Daniel, and Frankie all worked so hard to improve and I am really happy for them.  It also is a testament to our team's success, because you have to be one of the top teams to have multiple players named All-Conference.
