Westfield, Mass. — Senior Dane Jobst of Worcester State is the 2013-14 Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year and leads the All-Conference team which is voted on by the seven coaches around the conference.

Helping the Lancers land the third-seed in the MASCAC conference tournament with an 8-4 league record, Jobst was a driving force for the squad this season, finishing atop the league in rebounds per game with 13.5 and fourth in points per game at 16.7.

Paul Brooks of Worcester State was tabbed as the 2013-14 MASCAC Rookie of the Year after a season that saw the freshman from Arlington, Mass. finished the season third in the conference in field goal percentage at 50 percent. He also averaged seven points, 4.8 rebounds per game and 1.96 blocks on the year. For his efforts in leading his squad to the top seed in the conference tournament and a 9-3 conference mark, Salem State's Chris Harvey was named the 2013-14 MASCAC Champion's Choice Coach of the Year.
