Scott, a senior forward from Lynchburg, averaged 19.6 points and eight rebounds per game for the Maroons (26-2).
"Hilliary earned every bit of this honor," said Page Moir, Roanoke's coach. "He is one of the finest players to don a Roanoke College uniform and typifies the meaning of the term `All-American' in every way."
Roanoke earned the Old Dominion Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament titles and made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1987. Scott, the ODAC player of the year, also earned spots on the All-South Region first team and AllODAC first team for the second consecutive year.
Scott, who was a second-team All-American as a junior, was a candidate for national Division III player of the year this season. However, that honor went to Scott Fitch of Geneseo (N.Y.) State, a fellow first-team member. Completing the first team were Ty Evans of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Moses Jean-Pierre of Plymouth (N.H.) State and Nick Gutman of Otterbein (Ohio).
In other sports in the region Friday:
In Lexington, Ryan Glynn (2-1) pitched six innings of no-hit ball and struck out 13 as VMI routed North Carolina A&T 14-4 in college baseball.
Louie Napoleon went 2-for-3 with his third triple of the year for the Keydets (12-13). North Carolina A&T's record fell to 2-20.
In Charlotte, N.C., North Carolina-Charlotte overcame a four-run first-inning deficit and Jeff Myers settled down to throw a complete-game six-hitter as the 49ers beat Virginia Tech 8-5 in Metro Conference baseball.
After the first, Myers (5-0) allowed only two hits and three runners. Chris William and Andy Bovender had three hits each for UNCC (15-11 overall, 1-0 in the Metro).
Kevin Barker and Denny Hedspeth each had two hits and drove in a run for the Hokies (10-11, 2-2).
In Radford, first baseman Tom Kruse drove in seven runs as Charleston Southern pounded Radford 12-2 in Big South Conference baseball.
Kruse drove in one run with a groundout in the first inning, three with a home run in the seventh and three with a triple in the ninth for the Buccaneers (8-15, 5-2).
Jim Maas (4-4) went the distance for Charleston Southern, shutting out the Highlanders after the first inning. Jim Abbott (1-2) took the loss.
Fran O'Hanlon has thrown his hat into the search for a head basketball coach at VMI.
O'Hanlon, an assistant at Penn the past five years, said he sent a resume and phoned VMI athletic director Davis Babb and was awaiting a response.
"I basically work a lot with the offense [at Penn]," O'Hanlon said Friday. "We're all in charge of recruiting . . . and in an Ivy League situation, as I'm sure it is with VMI, it's tough."
In Greenville, S.C., East Tennessee State took advantage of an early-morning tee time to fire a 290 and take a seven-shot lead over second-place College of Charleston at the Furman Intercollegiate Golf Tournament.
Playing in cold rain and wind in the afternoon on the 6,800-yard, par-72 Furman University Golf Course, Virginia Tech shot a 303 to place 11th in the 24-team field. Brian Sharp had a round of 72 and is tied for fifth. Sean Farrell shot a 76, David Havens had a 77 and Curtis Deal carded a 78 in the 54-hole tournament.
Second-round play is today and the final round will be played Sunday.
In Hampden-Sydney, Roanoke College finished third behind two squads from the host school in the Hampden-Sydney Invitational golf tournament.
Eric Early of Hampden-Sydney's "A" team and Philip Cook of the Tigers' "B" team shared medalist honors at 75 on the par-71 Landing View Country Club course. Darrell Craft of Roanoke shot an 80.
Hampden-Sydney's "A" team finished with a 308 total, seven strokes ahead of its "B" team and 22 in front of Roanoke.
