A former Division I player who transferred from Loyola Marymount, Walker scored in double figures in 22 of his last 25 games while recording the conference's sixth-leading average, 15.4 points per game.

He also ranked 14th in rebounding (5.3 per game), 12th in field-goal percentage (.509) and third in minutes per game (34.9). In November against Division I opponents, the 6-foot-3 Walker was the second-leading scorer (23.0) in the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout.

The Hayward, Calif., native finished with a flourish, scoring 23 against ninth-ranked Seattle Pacific in Saturday's season finale.

Robinson, a 6-6 forward, was named honorable mention after ranking second on the Seawolves in scoring (12.0 per game) and leading the team in three-point shooting (41 percent). The Manila, Utah, native ranked second in the conference with 2.4 3-pointers made per game.

Chris Banchero of Seattle Pacific was named player of the year, while J.C. Cook of Central Washington was named the top newcomer. Tarance Glynn of Western Oregon secured freshman of the year.

Seattle Pacific's Ryan Looney was coach of the year.
