MANSFIELD, Mass. – Recent Saint Anselm College graduate Andrew Andary '23 has been named a finalist for the prestigious Northeast-10 Conference Man of the Year.

The NE10 announced earlier in May its list of 27 student-athletes that have been nominated for the 2022-23 Man and Woman of the Year awards. Both honors are selected by the Conference's Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) Council.

Each nominee is a senior student-athlete that has excelled in all areas of their collegiate careers – on the playing surface, in the classroom and in the community. The two winners are set to be announced at the NE10 Banquet hosted by Pace University on the night of Sunday, June 4.

Each NE10 institution nominates for both Man and Woman of the Year honors. The 2022-23 academic year marks the 11th time that the league will award the NE10 Man of the Year honor, while the NE10 Woman of the Year honor has been awarded since 2005-06 and will be put forth as the league's official NCAA Woman of the Year candidate.
