Linfield men's basketball earned two All-Northwest Conference honorees, as announced by the conference office on Friday morning. Junior Garrett Callsen was named to the Second Team, senior Dayton Magaña earned Third Team honors.
 
The Stayton, Oregon, native earned his first All-NWC recognition, coming off of claiming the conference's final Athlete of the Week award this past Monday. Callsen started 23 of 24 games, only missing senior night, tallying 600 minutes. He returned to the regular starting role that he saw his freshman season, which aided his conference-leading 59.5% field goal percentage, and an impressive 9-18 from beyond the arc. 
 
Callsen averaged 12.7 points per game, behind on Magaña on the team, leading the Wildcats in offensive boards (56) and blocks (13). A now three-year letterwinner, Callsen is majoring in business management and is the son to Deborah and Cory Callsen.
 
Senior Dayton Magaña closed out his collegiate career with his first All-NWC honor, competing two seasons with Linfield. The guard from Modesto, California, led the 'Cats in scoring with 13.2 points per game, making a team-high 63 three-pointers this season. Defensively, Magaña also led the team in steals with 30. 
 
The son of Julio and Kathleen Magaña, Dayton intends to graduate with his degree in exercise science and education. 
 
Linfield men's basketball ended the season last Saturday with a dominant 94-70 win over George Fox, finishing with a 10-14 record and 8-8 in the NWC; the team's best finish in the past three seasons.
