MATTHEW HILLEARY
DOB:
After finishing an outstanding season with the Men's basketball team Matthew Hilleary, a senior civil engineering major from Manassas, Va., has a lot to look forward to after graduation. This season Hilleary, center, was recognized by D3hoops.com as a fourth team All-American as well as first team All-Mid Atlantic for the second year in a row. Basketball has always been a passion for Hilleary even from a young age. Hilleary had a lot to look up to when he was younger. He started playing basketball in fifth grade, and inspired by his older brother his love of basketball. In high school, Hilleary was named All-conference player of the year two years in a row, along with being named Manassas Journal Messenger player of the year.
When Hilleary came to Catholic the awards and achievements came rolling in. Last season he was named the Capital Athletic Conference player of the year. Athletics haven't been the only thing that has inspired great achievements, Hilleary is also a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. This past season, Hilleary stood up to the challenge of his senior year and took control and the reigns of leadership on the court. Hilleary helped lead the Cards back to the NCAA tournament. Hilleary led the Cardinals in scoring and rebounding averaging 17.4 points per game and 8.0 rebounds a contest. He also led the Capital Athletic Conference and ranked 16th in the nation in blocked shots with 77 blocks (athletics.cua.edu).[don't know what exactly you want for citation]
NABC named Hilleary to its All-American Second Team and an All First Team selection on the Middle Atlantic Region. While his CUA basketball career came to an end this season, Hilleary will forever be remembered in the record books. Hilleary grabbed the seventh-place spot in the CUA books for all-time scoring highs. Hilleary also racked up 1,622 career points with 852 rebounds and 267 blocks which landed him second on Catholic's defense books.
With his senior year drawing to a close Hilleary was named Capital Athletic Conference's Player of the Year for the second year in a row. Hilleary was also placed on the 2003 All-CAC First team with fellow teammate Will Morley and with other players from York, Goucher and Mary Washington. Hilleary pushed this team in his final year with an attitude that motivated the other players. After winning the National title in his sophomore year at Catholic, Hilleary strived to lead the Cards back into the winner's circle for the remainder of his basketball career at Catholic. (I don't know how to end it!!)
