Brown voted All-Conference Carolinas First-Team

MOUNT OLIVE – University of Mount Olive senior guard Michael Brown earned Conference Carolinas First-Team honors, announced by the league office.

Brown garnered the accolade for the first time in his career after being named the Conference Carolinas Freshman of the Year in 2018-19. He becomes just the third UMO player in the last seven years to earn all-conference first-team status.

A native of Winchester, Va., Brown statistically had one of the best seasons in Mount Olive history after shattering the single-season points and assists records this year. He currently ranks second in all of Division II in total points (697), total assists (200) and minutes played (38:20). Brown is averaging 23.2 points per game with five 30-point games, including a career-high 42-point performance against Emmanuel on Feb. 16. He has tallied four double-doubles throughout the regular season and is the only UMO player to dish out 200 assists in a single season. Brown leads the conference in several statistical categories, including total points, three-pointers made, assists per game, and assist/turnover ratio. This season, he joined his current head coach Dory Hines as the only two players to reach over 600 career assists at UMO.
