Westmont’s Roth receives All-GSAC honors

By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

In his fifth and final season in a Westmont uniform, Westmont Men’s Basketball’s Cade Roth has been honored as one of the top performers in the Golden State Athletic Conference. On Tuesday morning, the GSAC announced Roth as one of the 12 members of the All-GSAC team.

For Roth, it is the second time in his career that he has received all-conference honors.

“This a collective effort from our team to have Cade earn this award,” said Westmont head coach Landon Boucher. “At times, Amir has played like an All-GSAC player. I think Anthony has played like an All-GSAC player for most of the year. Tone has played like that for the past couple weeks, and Cly went through a stretch like that as well.

“That’s how our team is built, and it’s a testament to our team for buying into the idea of playing for each other.”

Roth appeared in all 27 games for the Warriors during his freshman campaign, but in the three subsequent seasons, the wing suffered from multiple injuries that prohibited him from making a season-long impact.

This year Roth had the healthiest season of his collegiate career, allowing the fifth-year to start all 27 games, and lead Westmont in

Roth’s 328 assists is the 14thmost in program history, and his 129 steals is the 13th-most.

“Cade has been worthy of this award for many seasons,” noted Boucher. “You look at him now as a top-40 scorer all-time at Westmont, he’s just continued to cement his legacy. It’s been an honor to coach him for all five of his years.

“Cade represents our program on and off the floor as a prime example of how we want to carry ourselves. I’m super proud of Cade
