Freshman Ian Passino (Peru, N.Y./Peru) has been North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Week.

 

Passino helped JSC to a 1-1 week including a 74-64 win over Wheelock, JSC's fifth win in their last six games.  The 5'11" combo guard averaged 7 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1 apg, and 1 spg while shooting 50% (5-10) from the floor and 50% (2-4) from the 3-point line.

 

Passino, a Physical Education major, led a fine bench effort on Saturday in the Badgers win over Wheelock by scoring 10 points on 3-6 shooting and 2-3 from the 3-point line while grabbing three rebounds and handing out a pair of assists.  The JSC bench outscored the Wheelock bench 31-14 on the day.

 

JSC will travel to Maine this weekend for a set of games with the NAC East Division leaders. Friday night they play at Husson College and on Saturday at Maine Maritime Academy.
