EASTON, Mass. (March 4, 2025) – The Northeast Conference announced its annual Men's Basketball awards on Tuesday as Louie Semona (Cincinnati, Ohio) headlined Stonehill's three honorees as he was named to the All-Conference Second Team.
 
Along with Semona, classmate Todd Brogna (Southborough, Mass.) was named to the All-Conference second team and freshman Hermann Koffi (Quebec City, Quebec) debuted on the All-Rookie team. All three Skyhawks earned All-Conference honors for the first time in their careers.
 
Stonehill's trio of honorees mark the first All-NEC selections for the Skyhawks since their inaugural season in 2022-23 when Andrew Sims, '23, Isaiah Burnett, '23, and Max Zegarowski, '24 earned first, second, and third team honors. This gives head coach Chris Kraus, '06 a total of 20 All-Conference performers throughout his 11 seasons at the helm of the Skyhawk program.
 
Semona played in all 31 games, starting in 15, while leading the team and ranking ninth in the conference, averaging 13.2 points per game. Semona finishes the season tied for the fourth-most made threes in the NEC, converting on 59 of his 155 attempts, good for a 38.1% shooting clip from deep.
 
Semona was named an NEC Prime Performer seven times this season, leading the team with two 30-point performances, eight 20-point outings, and 20 double-digit scoring games. He is also third-best on the team with 4.2 rebounds per game and finished fifth on the team in field goal percentage at 46.7% (141-302).
 
Semona went 67-84 (79.8%) from the free throw line. In conference play alone, Semona averaged 16.8ppg, starting in 15 of the 16 NEC games. His rebounding also saw an uptick to 5.4 per game. The sophomore's 33-point outburst in last weekend's regular season finale against Le Moyne was the second highest scoring game of the year by any NEC player, trailing only Chicago State's Jalen Forrest's 37-point performance against Mercyhurst.
 
Brogna makes his NEC All-Conference debut on the second team after playing 29 games this season, starting in 28 of them. He earned six NEC Prime Performer awards while leading the team with four double-doubles and 6.7rpg. He ranks third in the conference in rebounding and second in free throw percentage at 91.3% (95-104). His free throw percentage is tied for seventh-best in the nation. Brogna averaged 12.3ppg, the 12th-highest mark in the conference.
 
Brogna finished the regular season just .04 percentage points away from 50/40/90 shooting splits, leading the team in shooting from the field at 49.6% (117-236) and from three-point range at 40.3% (27-67). Brogna matched Semona with a team-best 20 double-digit scoring performances, three of which he tallied over 20 including a career-best 28 points in the Skyhawks' Jan. 30 win over Wagner. Brogna had four double-digit rebounding performances, all of which ended in double-doubles for the Southborough, Mass. native.
 
Koffi marks the first Skyhawk to be named to the NEC All-Rookie Team at the Division I level and is the first Skyhawk freshman to earn All-Conference honors since Will Moreton, '20 and Daniel Largey made the Northeast-10's 2016-17 All-Rookie Team.
 
Koffi earned NEC Rookie of the Week honors three times this season as he finished in a tie for the top spot among freshmen scoring leaders at 9.5ppg. Koffi played in all 31 games, starting 26, while leading the team in minutes played (996) and minutes per game (32.1). His 32.1mpg ranks sixth in the NEC and first among first-year players.
 
Koffi knocked down the second-most threes on the team at a 37.3% (56-150) clip, tied for the sixth-most makes from long range in the conference and the second-most among freshmen.
 
Koffi tallied 13 double-digit scoring efforts and had nine games with at least three made three-pointers. He notched his career high of 18 points in back-to-back road games, at Chicago State and Le Moyne, marking the most points by a Skyhawk freshman since senior Christopher Melis (Chappaqua, N.Y.) scored 22 points at Bridgeport on November 17, 2021.
 
Stonehill men's basketball (15-16, 7-9 NEC) makes its program debut in the Northeast Conference Championship Tournament Wednesday night at the Bogota Savings Bank Center in Hackensack, N.J. when the fifth-seeded Skyhawks take on the fourth-seeded FDU Knights (12-19, 8-8 NEC) at 7 p.m.
