KINGSTON, R.I. - Rhode Island men's basketball assistant coach Duane Woodward will be inducted into the Boston College Hall of Fame on Sunday, Oct. 18.

As part of the induction class, Woodward will be permanently enshrined on the Wall of Fame on the west concourse of Conte Forum.

A four-year starter for the Eagles, Woodward helped guide Boston College to Big East regular-season and tournament championships while establishing himself as one of the program's top guards. A Third Team All-Big East selection in 1998 and Big East All-Tournament Team honoree in 1997, Woodward was a key contributor on Boston College teams that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 1996 and 1997.

As a senior, Woodward averaged 15.6 points, 5.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game while showcasing his all-around ability as a scorer, passer and defender.

Following his time on the Heights, Woodward continued his playing career professionally, helping lead AEL Limassol in Cyprus to back-to-back league championships in 2003 and 2004. He was named the All-FIBA Europe League Player of the Year in 2004 and earned All-Cyprus League Player of the Year honors in 2003 and 2004.

Woodward later transitioned into coaching and has been on the sidelines since the 2012-13 season. He is in his fifth season at Rhode Island.

Also being inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Woodward are Asiya Dair '18 (women's tennis); Chris Hovan '00 (football); Sarah Mannelly '16 (women's lacrosse); Jillian Mastroianni '12 (women's soccer); Tyler Pruett '02 (sailing); Randy Thomas (track and field head coach); and Fr.
