ANGOLA, Ind. – D3hoops.com has named Trine University men's basketball student-athlete Nick Bowman [Angola, Ind. / Hamilton Southeastern] a Preseason Second Team All-American heading into the 2021-22 season.

Bowman, who is entering his senior season with the Thunder men's basketball program and in 2021-22, was named a First Team All-American last year by D3hoops.com. He led the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) in scoring (21.8 points per game), field goals (146-of-273), steals (63) and was second in assists (54). Bowman scored in double figures in all but one game with 11 games of 20 or more points and two games of 30 or more points, including a career-high 35-point effort against Olivet College on Feb. 13.  Bowman earned MIAA Athlete of the Week three times in 2020-21 and was named to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week twice.

Bowman was a major contributor to a 17-1 season, including an undefeated conference slate at 5-0 and MIAA Championship with a 64-62 victory over Albion. It is the team's first title since joining the league and broke a spell of two consecutive championship game losses.
