BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference has released the 2023 All-SSC teams on Wednesday and Lynn University standout Nordin Kapic was named the league's Freshman of the Year. Kapic was also one of five honorees for the 2022-23 All-SSC Newcomer Team.

The 6-8 forward from Vienna, Austria, led the SSC in rebounding with 10.4 boards per game and he was fifth in scoring at 19.3 points per game.

Kapic, who started 24 of 25 games, led the Fighting Knights in almost every statistical category including minutes (30.8), field goals made (167), free throws made (126), offensive (80) and defensive rebounds (179) and steals (27).

Kapic finished the season with 13 double-doubles in 25 games, including six-straight double-doubles to end the season.

His 19.3 ppg average is tied for the sixth-best mark in a single season in program history. He is also second in a single season in rebounds per game (10.4) and fifth in both free throws made (126) and total rebounds (259).

He is the third SSC Freshman of the Year in program history and the first since SSC Hall of Famer James Taylor was honored in 2001-02. Leandro Garcia-Morales was the Fighting Knight's first-ever SSC Freshman of the Year in 2000-01.

All-conference selections and individual award winners are determined by a vote of Sunshine State Conference head coaches with oversight and approval from member institution Athletic Directors.
