Coaches Name Foster First Team All-SEC

3/8/2006

Vanderbilt sophomore wing player Shan Foster has earned First Team All-SEC selection by the league’s coaches the conference announced Wednesday.

Foster is the first Commodore to earn the distinction from the coaches since Matt Freije in 2004. Last season, Foster was named to the SEC All-Freshman team by the conference coaches.

Foster ended the regular season ranked fifth in the SEC in scoring with 16.3 points per game. The native of Kenner, La. also ranks among the league leaders in 3-pointers made per game (second with 3.07) and 3-point shooting (third at 42.3 percent) for all games.

Foster has led the Commodores in scoring in 15 games this season, including a career-high 30-point effort at Alabama on Feb. 8.

Foster owns the school record for most 3-pointers (152) by a Commodore in his first two seasons. His 152 career 3-pointers rank ninth in school history. Foster is shooting 43.3 percent from beyond the arc during his career — fourth highest at Vanderbilt.

The preseason First Team All-SEC selection has reached double figures in scoring in 23 of Vanderbilt’s 27 games this season.
