Junior Jake Schwarz was selected to the 2012 National Association of Basketball Coaches Division III All-District second team, and was selected to the D3hoops.com All- Midwest Region third team, the publications announced today.

The 6-foot-5 forward finished eighth in the nation in scoring with 23.4 points per game, a mark that also led the Northern Athletics Conference. He finished first in the league in rebounds per game (8.9) and free throw percentage (86.7) and ranked third in 3-point field goal percentage (45.2).

The Sheboygan, Wis., native helped led the Muskies to a 21-7 overall record and a tie for second place in the NAC North Division. The team's 21 wins tied a school record for wins in a season since becoming an NCAA institution in 1997.

Schwarz scored 655 points and moved into sixth on the college's career scoring list with 1,578 points. For his efforts this season, Schwarz was named NAC Player of the Week five times and received first team All-NAC recognition.

Concordia University Wisconsin's Luke Doedens, the NAC's Player of the Year, was selected to the NABC All-District first team, and was selected to the D3hoops.com All- Midwest Region second team. Edgewood College's Ben Wisniewski joined Schwarz on the D3hoops.com All- Midwest Region third team.

Schwarz was named to the D3hoops.com All-Midwest Region first team in 2010.

The NABC Coaches' Division III All-America team will be announced later this week at the NCAA Division III championships in Salem, Va.
