Fiegi named NAIA Division II First-team all-American
Dunn recognized as honorable mention
SALEM, Ore. – Western Baptist College had a record-setting men’s basketball campaign in 2004-05 and junior Eric Fiegi (Medford, Ore. / South Medford HS) has been selected a first-team NAIA Division II all-American. Senior teammate Jeff Dunn (Dallas, Ore. / Dallas HS) also received national recognition as an honorable mention.
Fiegi led NAIA II in scoring averaging 27 points per game as Western Baptist equaled its best overall record (28-7) in program history. The Warriors started the season with a program-best 18 consecutive victories and were ranked No. 1 for nearly a month. WB was held 30 points below its nation-leading scoring average in a first round defeat to Bellevue University (Neb.), 68-65, in the NAIA II tournament last week.
