The Rams placed second at last weekend's Trinity (Conn.) Holiday Invitational, winning their opening contest Friday night against Endicott by double figures, before narrowly falling in Saturday's championship contest to the host Bantams.
Senior Nick Hurowitz (Mt. Sinai, N.Y.) was named the Skyline's Player of the Week after garnering all-tournament team kudos at Trinity. He averaging 14.5 ppg and 7.5 rpg for FSC on the weekend, including a 24-point, nine-rebound showing (10-of-15 FG, 3-of-4 3FG) against the hosts on Saturday.
