Goldey-Beacom Men's Basketball senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) today received more recognition by being placed on the Top 100 Watch List for the Bevo Francis Award.

The Bevo Francis Award is given to the top men's basketball player in the country out of the group that competes in NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA Division I, NAIA Division II, USCAA and NCCAA. This is the fourth year the award will be presented.

One of the nation's most dynamic players, Taite has the Lightning (8-7, 6-1 CACC) in first place in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference South Division and looking for a second straight division title. GBC has won seven of its last nine contests and opened the campaign playing three regional teams who all at some point this season have been nationally ranked.

A prolific competitor on both ends of the court, Taite is 31st in the country with 79 free throws, 51st with an .878 free throw percentage, 63rd with 19.3 points per game, 91st with 34.5 minutes per contest and 99th with 4.4 assists per game.

Awards are nothing new to Taite, who last season was named CACC Player of the Year, first team NABC All-East Region, first team CCA All-East Region, a member of the CACC All-Tournament Team and first team City of Basketball Love All-Area. He also was picked in 2016 to the City of Basketball Love Division II All-Rookie Team.

Taite is first in program history with 1,506 points, first with 467 field goals, second with 329 assists, second with 397 free throws, second with 175 three-pointers, third with 191 steals and fifth with 464 rebounds.
