Rylan Blondo, MBB, Athlete, New Paltz

Blondo has become the most consistent player for the Hawks this season and helped them to a win against tournament host Western Connecticut State Wednesday. He was the second-leading scorer on the team, finishing with 16 points on an efficient 7-for-14 shooting from the field, including hitting 2-for-3 from 3-point range and posted a team-leading and career-high seven assists in the win. In the championship game of the Hat City Tournament against William Paterson Thursday, Blondo again shot 50 percent from the field (8-16) and posted his second double-double on the season after leading the team in points (18) and rebounds (10) - five of which came on the offensive glass. He also led the team in assists with three to go along with one steal in the game.
