October 15, 2007 Jake Linton was named to the Division II Bulletin pre-season All-American team receiving an honorable mention selection. “This is a great honor for Jake and for our program,” said head coach Keith Cooper. “He embodies how we want our program to be represented, a true competitor who works hard everyday on and off the floor and in the classroom (3.30 GPA), and does so in a very humble manner in comparison to the attention and accolades he has and will continue to earn. To be considered for All-American status is very rare and even more rare for someone going into their junior year but anyone who has seen us play will certainly agree it is well deserved for Jake.” Linton led the conference in scoring in league games last season averaging 22.3 points per game for the Saints. He was third in league games in assists per game, 5.63, and three point percentage at .477. Linton also finished the season ranked ninth nationally in free throw percentage at 88.2 percent. Linton was one of four Great Northwest Athletic Conference athletes selected to the team. Luke Cooper and Rebecca Kielpinski from Alaska Anchorage and Leada Berkey from Western Oregon also earned recognition.
