Duarte Earns USBWA All-American Award

EUGENE, Ore. – For the second time in as many days, Chris Duarte was named an All-American.

Wednesday, the senior from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, received third team honors from the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.

Last season, Payton Pritchard was a USBWA second team All-American.

One of five finalists for the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award, Duarte is one of just two players nationally averaging 16.7 points and 1.9 steals per game, while shooting 50 percent from the field. He is the only major conference player with those averages.
