HENNIKER, N.H. - The NEC baseball team landed two selections on the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) All-Conference teams with graduate Brady Philibotte (Weare, N.H.) and senior Ryan Cote (Goffstown, N.H.) both being recognized for their strong seasons. 

Philibotte was named to the First Team All-Conference after posting a record-breaking final season for the Pilgrims, becoming the program's all-time leader in both hits (163) and doubles (50). It was his best full season of his career, slashing .395/.497/.653 with career-highs across the board. He had 49 hits, 22 of which went for extra bases. His 17 doubles are the second most in a single-season in NEC history and ranked second in the conference, while his career-high five home runs tied for 11th. The grad student ranked third in the GNAC with his .497 OBP, and ranked top 10 in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage in conference play. Philibotte had a team-high 32 RBIs, scored 23 runs, and walked 21 times. 

Cote earned a spot on the Second Team All-Conference with a big senior season in which the right fielder set new career-bests in just about every single statistical category. He slashed .327/.463/.574 on the season, reaching new heights in conference play as he led the GNAC with a .568 OBP and ranked top 10 in both average (.431) and slugging (.759). He had 33 hits this year with eight doubles, one triple, and five home runs. He did a bit of everything for the Pilgrims, scoring 27 runs and driving in 23, while leading the team with 25 walks, six stolen bases, and four sacrifice flies. He concludes his Pilgrim playing career with 60 walks – third most in program history and just one spot behind Philibotte. 

Senior Harold Martinez (Wethersfield, Conn.), who had a big senior season of his own, was named to the GNAC All-Sportsmanship Team.
