D’Angelo Harrison of St. John’s won the Haggerty Award, presented to the All Met Division I men’s player of the year by the Met Basketball Writers Association at the 81st NIT/MBWA Haggerty Awards dinner at the Westchester Marriott, Tarrytown, NY on April 22, 2014.

It had been more than a decade since a St. John's player has been anointed with the Haggerty Award, but in 2014 junior guard D'Angelo Harrison has returned the Red Storm to the winner's circle.
In one of the most competitive seasons among candidates for the designation as All-Met college basketball player of the year, Harrison, a 6-4 junior guard from Missouri City, TX, has been named recipient of the 81st Lt. Frank J. Haggerty Award presented by the NIT and the Met Basketball Writers Association.  

Harrison is the 21st player from St. John's to receive the Haggerty Award, which has gone to a member of the Red Storm 25 times overall. The last to win it from the university was Marcus Hatten in 2002. The award is named in memory of a former St. John's standout who lost his life in World War II.
Named to the All-Met First Team in 2013 and to the All-Met Second Team as a freshman in 2012, Harrison was selected to the All-Big East First Team this past season. A year ago, in 2012-13, he became the 48th player in St. John's history to reach the 1,000-point plateau (and the eighth fastest, 57 games). As a junior, he now stands tenth on the Red Storm ledger with 1,601 career points, which is 326 shy of former Haggerty Award winner Felipe Lopez (1,927 points, 1995-98) and the all-time top three at the school.

Harrison finished No. 4 in the Big East Conference this past season, and tied for 106th nationally, with a scoring average of 17.5 ppg. He also was fourth in the league with an 86.1% mark at the free throw line; his 1.9 average for 3-point goals tied for 10th, his .370 success rate from beyond the arc ranked 15th; and his 4.9 rpg tied for 20th. In his three seasons, Harrison has nailed down the distinction as St. John's all-time career 3-point leader with 198, having surpassed former No. 1 Willie Shaw back on Dec. 21, 2013.

During his senior season, Harrison was named First Team All-Big East for the second straight year after finishing second in the conference averaging 17.5 points per game. He finished his four-year career at St. John's third on the program's scoring list with 2,178 points and ninth in Big East history with 1,178 points in conference games. He graduated as St. John's career leader in 3-point field goals with 264.

Since his graduation from St. John's Harrison has been playing professionally in Europe, currently in the FIBA Basketball Champions League.
