Donati finished his career with 815 points, 679 rebounds, 132 blocks, and 145 assists. Jones appeared in 15 games in each of the first two seasons he played at Judson and appeared in a career-high 21 games this season as he finished the season with 74 points scored.  

Isiah Bird led the team with 19 points, six rebounds, two assists, and a block. Leonard Wilson scored 14 points with five rebounds and two assists. Anterrious Rhyan scored 12 points with six rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Donati had 11 points, seven rebounds, an assist, and a block. 

"I was thrilled that our guys rallied together to win the last two out of three games to finish the season," said Head Coach Bruce Fields. "I appreciate what our seniors have done for our program and am happy that they could contribute to the win today."

Judson (7-21, 5-15 CCAC) concludes the season with the victory. The Judson athletic department wishes Thomas and "Nemo" the best in their future endeavors.
