Freshman guard Wayne Smalls (Camden, NJ/Medical Arts) tallied a game- and career-high 33 points, while junior guard Dane Nicholson (Pleasantville/Holy Spirit) added 31 points to the Scarlet Raptors, who improve to 1-3.
Smalls added eight assists for the Raptors and shot 14-for-26 from the field. Nicholson collected seven rebounds and was 11-for-22 from the field, including 8-for-12 from three-point range. Nicholson’s eight treys tied the school single-game record set by Doug Dreby against Montclair State (Feb. 19, 1994) and tied by Tyrone Rucker against John Jay (Jan. 12, 2004).
Nicholson’s 31 points lifted him to 596 career points.
Fantroyal passed his previous career highs of nine rebounds (vs. Arcadia Jan. 6, 2005) and five assists (against Albright Nov. 18, 2005).
The Raptors’ total of 112 points was the fifth-highest output in program history and the most since a 118-112 win over William Paterson Feb. 22, 1988.
The Raptors placed a fourth player in double figures as freshman forward Antoine Miller (Camden, NJ/Medical Arts) added 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Miller also had six assists.
Rutgers-Camden returns to action Wednesday with an 8 p.m. New Jersey Athletic Conference game at Rowan University.
