 The sharp-shooting guard has already etched his name in the Saint Michael's record books and will likely pass Todd Roberts '01 as the all-time leader in 3-pointers made (301), this season ... His quick release and unlimited range will complement Monahan's inside play nicely.  The senior will look to shoot the Purple Knights back into the post-season for a second straight year.
