BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University senior wide receiver Matt Green has been selected to the 2014 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III North Football All-Star Team.

Green, a second team selection, is making his second straight appearance on the ECAC Division III North All-Star Team as he was a first team honoree in 2013.  Green is also one of nine representatives from the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) to be named to the regional squad.

Green hauled in 64 passes for 900 yards and seven touchdowns during the 2014 campaign. The Stoughton, Massachusetts product led the MASCAC in receiving yards per game (112.5). He also finished third in the conference in receptions and receiving yards (despite missing two games to injury) as well as sixth in yards per catch (14.1) and receiving touchdowns.

On a national level, Green ranked 12th in all of Division III in both receptions per game (8.0) and receiving yards per game.

Green set the program's all-time receiving marks for catches and yards as he wrapped up a brilliant four-year career at BSU with 169 receptions for 2,765 yards and 29 touchdowns.  His 29 TD catches is second only to BSU Hall of Famer Andy Macaione's school record of 37.

Green also excelled on special teams this season as he averaged 13.7 yards on punt returns and returned a school record two punts for touchdowns in a 51-27 victory over Worcester State.  Green tied for fifth nationally in punt return touchdowns and finished 18th overall in punt return average. 

In 2013, Green eclipsed the Bears' single-season receiving records for receptions (69), yards (1,315) and touchdowns (16).  He also broke the BSU single-game mark for receiving touchdowns with five (vs. Worcester State) and tied the single-game standard for receptions with 12 (vs. Mass. Maritime).

The Bridgewater State football team completed the 2014 season with an overall record of 4-6 including a 3-5 mark in the MASCAC standings.

Notes: Green has been selected to three all-region teams for the second straight season. He was named to the New England Football Writers Division II/III All-New England Team back in November and the D3football.com All-East Region Team earlier this month.
