NAIA tabs Raasch as First Team All-American

WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Ian Raasch of Grace's men's basketball team earned another national award on Monday.

Raasch was chosen as an NAIA First Team All-American. The award follows last week's announcement of Raasch as the NCCAA National Player of the Year.

Raasch was one of the top two-way players in the country. He averaged 14.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game. His offensive game was efficient, making 59 percent of his field goals for the season and 45 percent on 3-point shots.

Raasch is the third Lancer in the last three seasons to garner an NAIA First Team All-American accolade (Ian Scott, 2025; Elijah Malone, 2024).

Raasch, along with fellow junior Gage Sefton, also collected recognition on the NABC's inaugural NAIA All-Region Team. The duo were two of the 15 players from the North Region recognized as All-Region.

Grace enjoyed another trophy-winning season despite having no seniors on the squad. The Lancers posted a 31-4 record, marking the fourth-most wins in a season in team history.

The Lancers collected their fourth regular-season championship in a row from the Crossroads League as well as their fifth straight CL Tournament title. Grace advanced to the NAIA's Elite Eight for the third consecutive season.
