Steven Siracusa notched another double-double for TCNJ, scoring 11 points and pulling down 10 boards. Joining him in double figure scoring, was the duo of Jay Frank and Aaron Syvertsen. 

Both Frank and Syvertsen finished with 18 points and garnered All-Tournament Team honors. 

For Albright, Ashcroft and Justin Plummer joined Shaeffer on the All-Tournament Team. Rounding out the honors was Preseason All-American Darnell Braswell who was the lone representative for the DeSales University Bulldogs.
