Indianapolis, Ind. -- Senior Cameron Morse was named All-Horizon League Second-Team and Naz Bohannon was named to the Horizon League All-Freshmen Team after a vote by the league's head coaches, athletics communications directors and selected media, the league announced.

Morse, a 6-foot-2 guard, is just the second Youngstown State player to earn all-league honors in three consecutive seasons after earned first-team honors in 2016-17 and second-team laurels in 2015-16. The Flint, Mich., native ranked seventh in the league in overall scoring with 15.5 points per game, tied for third with 3.9 assists per game and 2.5 made 3-pointers per game. In league play, Morse averaged 17.2 points per game, which ranked fifth, and ranked second in the league with 3.1 3-pointers made per game.

Morse, who scored in double figures 24 times this season, became just the sixth player in YSU history and the 18th player in Horizon League history to score at least 1,900 career points. He ranks sixth in scoring at Youngstown State and 18th in Horizon League history with 1,900 points. Over the last three Horizon League seasons (54 games), Morse has scored 1,147 points for an average of 21.2 points per game.

Bohannon, a 6-foot-6 forward, ranked third in Horizon League play with 9.0 rebounds per game and ranked fifth overall with 8.1 boards per game. He posted four double-doubles and seven double-digit rebound games, and his 251 rebounds in the regular season were the most by a Youngstown State player since Jerome Sims had 327 in 1991-92 and the fifth-most in YSU's Division I era.

Youngstown State, the No. 9 seed, takes on No. 8 Cleveland State in the first round of the Little Caesar's Horizon League Championship on Friday, March 2, at 8 p.m. in Little Caesar's Arena in Detroit, Mich.
