Needing 16 points to hit the 1,000 point mark in his Wisconsin Valley Conference career, senior Trev Anderson did not disappoint the hometown crowd lighting up the board with 21 points.  The UW-Green Bay recruit becomes just the fourth player in the WVC to surpass the 1,000 point mark.

SPASH hit 20 two-pointers, 12 three-pointers, and went a perfect 8/8 at the free throw line.

Playing their final regular season home game at the SPASH fieldhouse were seniors Ted Kearney, Jake Hofmeister, Jamison Kryshak, Sam Hauser, Joe Fasula, Trev Anderson, Mack Journell and Evan Mallek.
