Huskies Honored At CAA Awards Banquet


Manny Adako, Matt Janning and Chaisson Allen earned All-CAA honors tonight at the annual CAA Basketball banquet in Richmond.

Allen earned All-Defensive Team honors in the conference. Adako was named Third Team All-Conference, earning his first All-Conference honors. Janning was named to the CAA First Team All-Conference after being named to second team last year,

The Huskies also received the most awards recognizing accomplishments in the classroom, with Baptiste Bataille, Nkem Ojougboh and Matt Janning representing Northeastern. Janning earned Second Team All-Academic honors, while Bataille and Ojougboh were named First Team All-Academic.

Today the Huskies practiced, first at the Richmond Coliseum where all the teams were given 40 minutes to get familiar with the hoops and the surroundings. The Huskies then traveled to nearby Benedictine High School where they held practice for an hour and a half. Tomorrow will be more of the same for Northeastern, as they earned a first round bye.
