Complete D3hoops.com All-Middle-Atlantic Region Team 

Christopher Newport head coach Bill Broderick, Mary Washington senior Brianne Comden, and CNU junior Sam Porter received recognition on the D3hoops.com All-Middle-Atlantic Region team, announced Monday. 

Broderick was named the Region Coach of the Year, becoming the first coach in program history to collect the honor. Also the CAC Co-Coach of the Year, Broderick has led the Captains to a 29-2 record, a CAC title, and an appearance in the NCAA Final Four this weekend. In just his fifth season, Broderick eclipsed the 100th win plateau faster than any coach in CNU Athletics history, and continued to improve his all-time record to 123-25 (.831). 

Porter, a junior, was named a second-team all-region pick after earning first-team all-conference recognition earlier this year. Porter leads CNU in nearly every statistical category this season. She helped lead a suffocating defense with 115 steals, ranking fifth all-time at CNU and sitting at third in the country coming into this weekend's action. She has six double-doubles this season, and flirted with a triple-double on several occasions, but most notably in the CAC Championship game versus Mary Washington (13 pts, 10 reb, 9 stl). She averages a team-best 12.9 points per game, 7.0 rebounds and 3.7 steals per game. She reached double figures in the scoring column in 21 games this season, including a career-high 33-point effort at home against Salisbury. Porter has also led the way at the free-throw line, reaching the charity stripe 174 times this season with 129 makes for a 74% rate at the line. 

Mary Washington's Comden was named to the All-Region first team. The CAC Player of the Year, Comden closed her outstanding career by leading UMW to its second straight NCAA Division III Tournament this year, averaging 15.8 points per game while shooting 48.5% from the field.

She finished her career ranked third all time in UMW women's basketball scoring history, with 1,503 points. This season, she scored 457 points, including 31 against Wesley on January 14. She scored 20-plus points eight times, and also averaged 5.8 rebounds per game.

Comden will now be eligible for D3Hoops.com All-America honors, which will be announced in the coming days.
