FOREST – Roanoke College men's basketball senior, Daniel Eacho was named the 2015 ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar Athlete of the Year, as well as Third Team All-ODAC, announced Wednesday.  This is the second consecutive year that Eacho has earned All-ODAC honors, being named to the First Team in 2014.
 
Eacho, a senior from North Chesterfield, Va., put in hard work both on the court and in the classroom.  The perennial Roanoke Dean's List honoree owns a 3.56 grade point average as a Political Science and History major.  A member of several honor societies, including Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Lambda Delta, Pi Sigma Alpha and Phi Alpha Theta, Eacho serves as an on-campus tutor as well as member of the Catholic Campus Ministry.  He is also an intern at Woods Rogers Law Firm in Roanoke.  On the court, Eacho finished the season averaging 14.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, both top-10 in the ODAC.  He is third in field goals made (144) and collected six double-doubles.  Twice he eclipsed the 30-point plateau, including a season-best 37 points to go with 10 boards against Lynchburg College in late-January.
 
Daniel Eacho finished his career at Roanoke College with 1,311 points, ranking 16th all-time at Roanoke College.  He was one point shy of tying Bruce Hembrick '81 for 15th all-time.  He also finished 8th all-time in rebounding at Roanoke College, pulling down 724 boards over his career.
