EVANSVILLE, Ind. – IUP junior guard and formeer Meadville Area High School standout Armoni Foster was one of just 16 players named to the 2022 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Coaches’ Division II All-America Team, announced by the organization Tuesday morning at the Elite Eight.

Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC in Division II, these student-athletes represent the most outstanding basketball players across America in NCAA Division II.

Foster is also one of eight players to be a finalist for NABC Division II Player of the Year award.

Foster earns All-America honors from the NABC a day after being selected first-team All-Atlantic District by the coaches. He’s also earned honorable mention All-American and first-team all-region honors by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) this postseason, and was the 2022 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Western Division Athlete of the Year.

Foster is averaging 18.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game while adding 53 steals and 17 blocks. One of the top scorers in the PSAC, he’s also fourth in the country with his 6.6 assists per game while his 223 assists on the year is a new IUP single-season record. Foster’s 623 total points this year is fifth in program history, 39 points shy of Brandon Norfleet’s 662 in 2015-16.

He’s one of three players in Division II with multiple triple-doubles (2) and also has five double-doubles on the year. Foster has 14 20-point games, including three of more than 30. He enters this weekend with 1,527 career points, 11th in IUP history.
