He led SJU with a career-high 25 points on 10 of 15 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season in the 87-81 win over league-leading Bethel Monday night (Jan. 16). The victory enabled the Johnnies to move into a three-way tie for first-place in the league with the Royals and Hamline.
