Robert Morris has added for next season UMBC guard Ace Valentine, a second-team all-America East selection who averaged 11.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists for the Retrievers.

The 6-foot-3 Valentine recorded 21 double-figure scoring games last season, including a stretch of nine in the final 10 contests.

He was a second-team all-conference selection as UMBC earned the No. 1 seed for the America East tournament.
