Cartaino Named Street & Smith All-American

Chaminade University wing Tyler Cartaino (Newbury Park, Calif./Newbury Park) has been named to the Division II Preseason All-American honorable mention team by the Street & Smith's College Basketball Yearbook.
 
The redshirt senior is coming off a fantastic 2018-19 season which he earned All-Pacific West Conference First Team honors after averaging 17.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while leading the conference with a 59 percent shooting percentage.
 
Cartaino is one of two players from the PacWest on Street & Smith's All-America Teams. Azusa Pacific forward Selom Mawugbe is on the second team.
 
Fans will get a look at the Silverswords on Wednesday, Oct. 30 when they face Division I University of Hawai'i in an exhibition game at the Stan Sheriff Center. It is the first meeting between the teams since November 2015.
 
Chaminade opens the regular season at the PacWest/GNAC Challenge in Anchorage, Alaska on Saturday, Nov. 9 against the University of Alaska.
