Seton Hall C Angel Delgado named top player in New York metro area

NEW YORK -- Seton Hall center Angel Delgado, who led the nation in rebounding and was second in double-doubles, on Wednesday night won the Haggerty Award, given to the top Division I player in the New York metropolitan area.

The award is presented annually by the Met Basketball Writers Association.

It was the second consecutive year a player from Seton Hall won the award, following Isaiah Whitehead in 2016. He is the 12th Seton Hall player to win the award which was presented for the 84th time.

A 6-foot-10 junior from the Dominican Republic, Delgado was a finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award, which is annually given to the top center in Division I.
