2013-14: Was an impact player right away, earning a starting nod for all 30 games and producing 9.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per night … Ranked fourth in the conference in field-goal percentage (.552) and seventh in steals (1.2 spg) … Scored in double figures each of last seven games, averaging 13.6 points as well as 8.3 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals during that stretch, which included five postseason games … Totaled 27 points on 11-of-19 field goals and 19 rebounds in Wooster’s two NCAA Tournament games (March 7-8), including a double-double of 12 and 11 against Saint Vincent … Also had a double-double of 10 points and season-high 13 rebounds in conference tourney semifinals (Feb. 28) … Four double-doubles on the season.
