RICHMOND, Va. – University of Delaware senior forward Eric Carter was named Second Team All-CAA while freshman guard Ithiel Horton was selected to the CAA All-Rookie Team as the league announced its all-conference honorees on Friday.

Carter has reached double figures in all but four games this season, and is tied for second in the conference with 12 double-doubles. He scored 29 points in the season-opener at Maryland, and added a career-high 33 points in a win over Saint Francis. Carter currently ranks third in UD history with a 55.8 field goal percentage, sixth with 803 rebounds and 29th with 1,062 points.

A four-time CAA Rookie of the Week honoree, Horton set a UD record by knocking down nine three-pointers during the win at UNCW, while his 31 points that night tied the Blue Hen single game freshman mark. He capped the regular season in impressive fashion last week, tying for the team lead with 16 points vs. Northeastern before adding 26 against Hofstra.
