Men’s Basketball

Senior Tri-Captain Bobby Hurley was named the UCAA Guard of the Week for his performance this past weekend. Hurley averaged 15.5 points and five assists in leading the team to victories over Union and Skidmore.

Hurley, a management major, was also named to the UCAA All-Academic team along with Seniors Kahlil Fitzgerald (electrical engineering) and Mike Cooke (management information systems).

Sophomore Allison Geer was named the UCAA Female Swimmer of the Week. This came on the heels of Geer’s victories in the 50-meter freestyle, the 100-meter freestyle, as well as being a member of the 400 medley relay team, which also took first place. These victories helped pave the way for RPI 147-71 thrashing of Skidmore.
