KANSAS CITY, Mo.  – Derek Simpson and Steve Donahue were honored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches as Division I All-District Teams were announced on Tuesday.
 
Simpson was named to NABC Mid-Atlantic District Second Team. He is one of four players from the Atlantic 10 to be recognized as All-Mid Atlantic.
