ROMEOVILLE, Ill. - Lewis University senior forward Stephan Bolt has been selected to the Daktronics men's basketball NCAA Division II Great lakes Region second team by a vote of region sports information directors.

Bolt, who earlier this season was named to the All-Great lakes Valley Conference second team and the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District V third team, was one of only three GLVC players to average a double-double in scoring and rebounding. He ranked fourth in the GLVC in field goal percentage and led his team in rebounds and blocks.

Bolt this season became the 33rd member of Lewis' 1,000-point career scoring club, and he is one of only three players in the Flyers' Division II history to reach 1,000 career points and 700 rebounds. Bolt's 799 rebounds this season also set a Lewis single-season for the Division II era.

Bolt recorded 17 double-doubles on the season and also set a single-game career high in rebounds (22) on Dec. 29. On Dec. 1, Bolt matched his career in points (28). Bolt's 71 career blocks ranks third on Lewis' all-time list.

Bolt elevated his play to another level in the postseason, averaging 17.5 points and 12.5 rebounds during the Flyers' four postseason contests, recording a double-double in each game.

This is the first all-region selection of Bolt's career.

The Flyers finished the season 20-11, reaching the 20-win plateau for just the 14th time in program history.
