BOCA RATON, FL - Carlos Monroe and DeAndre Rice of the Florida Atlantic University men's basketball team were named members of the Second-Team All-Sun Belt, the conference office announced on Tuesday.

Monroe, a sophomore from Philadelphia, PA, was the only player to rank among the conference's top five in field goal percentage (60.1), scoring (18.0) and rebounding (9.2). He has 10 double-doubles on the year and was named Sun Belt Player of the Week once.

Monroe was a dominant force for a majority of the season, posting 10 double-doubles.

Rice, a senior from Flint, MI, led the Owls in scoring at 19.8, shooting 50.0 percent from the field and 48.0 percent from behind the arc. He ranks among the Sun Belt's elite in both categories. He also ranks among FAU's all-time leaders in all three categories. He was twice named Sun Belt Player of the Week this season.

The duo will play their final home game of the 2006-07 campaign when the Owls host Florida International in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament at 7 p.m., on Wednesday at FAU Arena.
