Rustin grad Ridgeway earns honor

Kutztown University junior and West Chester Rustin graduate Ethan Ridgeway was named to the AllPennsylvania State Athletic Conference men’s basketball first team on Thursday.

Ridgeway has burst on the scene in his first year as a starter. He leads the PSAC and ranks second in all of Division II at 9.0 assists per game. He is the school-record holder for assists in a game (14 on three occasions), season (243), and as a junior, became the career record holder Wednesday night with 448 in 85 games (5.3 career average). His 243 assists this year stand ninth all-time in PSAC single-season history.

Scoring wise, Ridgeway averages a career-high 14.6 points per game and has risen to ninth in single-season school history with 130 made free throws. Notably, he made all 10 attempts in a game last week to put him among the school-record holders for percentage in a game. He is in a stretch of three-straight double-doubles and eight this season.

Defensively, he ranks fifth in the PSAC in steals at 1.9 per game.
