Hi everyone, it’s Gina Pernicano here, filling in for Josh tonight on the blog.

A little while ago I had the chance to speak with senior Tyler Sayre of Albertus Magnus, who scored his 1,000th point today in the 65-57 win over Xavier in the championship of the Richard McNichols Memorial tourney. Sayre reached the milestone on a free throw with three minutes left in the fourth quarter and was named the tournament MVP.

“Throughout the whole game I wasn’t thinking about it too much, I just wanted to try and get us the win,” Sayre said. “Once I got the shot, everyone started cheering and I didn’t realize what it was for at first. Then, once I saw them coming out onto the court, I knew I got it and it was a pretty good feeling.”

Coach Pat McFadden added: “It’s a tremendous honor that he has earned. He’s a captain of the team and a leader far beyond that. He’s a low-maintenance star who just leads by example and we’re very proud to have him at Albertus Magnus.”

Sayre finished with 32 points and 14 rebounds, and teammate Jack Sullivan added 10 points.
