Anthony Torres was electric in his first game, recording a triple-double with 40 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists while shooting 50% from the field. Joining Torres, Brian Whitley added a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, dominating the glass and providing a consistent inside presence.
Bruce Wilder Jr. (Rochester, N.Y./Fairport) contributed 18 points, including a near-perfect 8-9 from the free-throw line, while Kellen Foster (Newark, N.Y./Newark) chipped in with 15 points and 3 rebounds.
