In two games last week Laurent averaged 18 points, six rebounds and four assists-per-game as the men's basketball picked up a pair of Skyline Conference victories. In a 64-59 win over Merchant Marine on the road on Tuesday the Amityville, NY native went for a team-high 22 points on 7-13 shooting from the field. In a home victory over Maritime on Friday evening Laurent tallied 14 points, collected eight rebounds and dished out four assists. As of Tuesday morning the guard was second on the team and ninth in the conference in points-per-game (15.3).
Laurent and the men's basketball team return to the hardwood at home on Wednesday evening when they host Skyline rival Sage at 7:00 PM.
