NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State's double-double machine Kendal Coleman was voted to the All-Louisiana Second Team by the state's sports writers and sports information directors, the Louisiana Sports Writers Association announced Wednesday.

Coleman compiled 17 double-doubles to rank 10^th nationally in the category, averaging a double-double with 15.4 points and 10.1 rebounds.

Sixteen of his double doubles came in the last 23 games with 12 of those coming against Southland Conference opponents, which propelled him to an All-SLC First Team nod. He was also voted to the All-Defense First Team with a team-high 40 blocks with 30 steals.

Coleman was efficient offensively, shooting 55 percent from the field to rank 40^th nationally.

Many of his most explosive offensive games occurred against high-major opponents. He scored at least 19 points against Oklahoma, SMU and Tulsa with double doubles against LSU and Texas A&M.

Coleman posted a career-high 25 points against Incarnate Word in a win.

The Shreveport native transferred to LSU this spring where he'll have three seasons of eligibility left.
