Rivera was instrumental in helping to lead the men’s basketball team to three wins last week to clinch the No. 5 seed for the SUNYAC tournament.  The Red Dragons defeated both the first and second place teams in the conference along with adding a clinching win against Potsdam this past Saturday to end the regular season.

For the week, Rivera averaged 16 points and eight rebounds per contest while adding eight assists and six steals.  His high game for the week was a 25-point effort versus Potsdam.  He was a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line and 3-of-9 from behind the arc.

Rivera is currently tied for second on the team in scoring at 13.5 points per game.  He is also averaging 6.1 boards while shooting 75 percent from the line.
