Mark McAndrew ’08, a two-time First Team All-Ivy and Academic All-Ivy selection and a 2008 Academic All-American, graduated with 1,100 career points. He ranked 17th in program history in points scored upon graduating. Currently, his totals stand at number 25 all-time.
During his senior season, McAndrew was instrumental in leading Brown to 19 victories, a school record, including an 11-3 mark in the Ivy League, the second-best in school history.
In 2006, he won the Stan Ward Award, presented to the player who contributes most to the team. In his junior campaign (2006-07), McAndrew won three awards; the Rusty Tyler Coaches Award, the Bernard V. Buonanno, Jr. ’60 Award, and the J. Richmond Fales Trophy. In order, they are presented to the team member who has given the most of himself for the good of the team, exemplified the true meaning of the scholar-athlete, and contributed the most to the sport at Brown. As a senior in 2008, McAndrew again won the Bernard V. Buonanno, Jr. ’60 Award and the J. Richmond Fales Trophy.
McAndrew and his backcourt mate Damon Huffman ’08 are entering the Brown Athletic Hall of Fame together. Current coach Mike Martin ’04 sums up the dynamic duo as follows: “they led by example TOGETHER, they outworked everyone TOGETHER, they helped Brown become one of the toughest teams in the Ivy League TOGETHER, and they won big TOGETHER.”
Coach Martin adds “playing against that Brown team was an unpleasant task for anyone. They were as physically strong and mentally disciplined a team as there was in the Ivy. They cut with force and defended with vigor. This mentality was carried out under the leadership of Damon and Mark.”
