Twenty NCAA men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes who excel both on and off the court were selected as finalists today for the 2019-20 Senior CLASS Award, and Dartmouth guard James Foye ’20 was among.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character, and competition.

A 6’ 4", 195-pound guard, Foye is one of the top 3-point shooters in the country, hitting 46.1 percent (41-of-89) from the perimeter, while averaging 9.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game for the Big Green this season.

The two-time team captain is one of just four players in Dartmouth’s history to hit 100 or more 3-pointers in a career at a 40% clip or better (.410). Foye has started every game since the start of his junior year (49) with over 500 points in those contests, and twice he has scored as many as 25 points in a game on the strength of seven trifectas, most recently at Georgia State on Dec. 3.
