WALESKA, Ga. (February 21, 2023) – Milligan University men's basketball freshman Dylan Bartley collected a pair of Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) all-conference honors on Tuesday evening. Bartley was named to the All-AAC Second Team and AAC All-Freshmen Team.

Bartley reeled in postseason accolades after leading the Buffs in scoring at 15.1 points per game.
