Watson was named to the First Team, while Ljuljdjuraj was named to the Second Team.
Watson, a 2014 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division III Second Team All-American, is one of the Falcons' three 2,000-point scorers in program history.
Watson earned a spot on the NABC All-District Northeast First Team and was selected as a First-Team member for the D3hoops.com All-Northeast Region. He finished his career with 2,158 points as he sits in third on the Falcons' all-time scoring list. En route to being named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Player of the Year, Watson tallied 647 points on the year in 2013-14, a 21.6 points per game average, which led the league.

He led the Falcons with 10.7 rebounds per game, 333 on the year, and a tally of 109 blocked shots. His blocked shots tally put him in the top-three in the nation in that category. He was also named to the GNAC All-Conference First Team.
