SALT LAKE CITY - Ute Senior forward Hanno Mottola has been named to the 2000 GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America third team.
Despite missing 11 games this season due to injuries, the Helsinki, Finland, native is leading the Runnin' Utes in scoring average (17.4 ppg) and is third in rebounding (4.7 rpg). Mottola is also shooting 50.2 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from three-point range. He was also named first team all-Mountain West Conference and all-District 13 by the NABC.
This is the fourth straight season that Utah has been represented on the Academic All-America team. Mottola, an economics major with a 3.38 GPA, was named to the second team last year, following Michael Doleac in 1997, and Doleac and Drew Hansen in 1998. No other school has had more than four Academic All-Americans in the last three years.
