MASON CITY - For the second straight season, NIACC's Quentin Hardrict and Deundra Roberson were selected to the all-ICCAC first team.

Hardrict, who ranks fourth on the school's career assist list with 300, averaged 16.9 points per game with 139 assists and 33 steals.
Matthews averaged 16.1 points per game with 244 rebounds and 46 blocked shots. He ranks 14th on the school's career scoring list with 965 points and ranks 10th on the school's career rebounding list with 493.
Harris averaged 13.9 points per game. He led the team with 49 3-point goals and also collected 139 rebounds with 87 assists and 37 steals.
