Sophomore forward Sammy Tornabene has been selected as Peggy's Scranton Athlete of the Week after delivering a dominant, career-best outing that powered The University of Scranton men's basketball team to a key Landmark Conference road victory.

Tornabene erupted for 32 points on an ultra-efficient 11-of-13 shooting, including 1-of-2 from three and 9-of-12 at the line, while adding seven rebounds in Scranton's 79–61 win at Juniata College on Saturday. He set the tone early, scoring the Royals' first basket of the afternoon and anchoring an offense that built a 45–28 halftime lead.

Earlier in the week, Tornabene added 11 points and four rebounds in 13 minutes against Moravian University, contributing to a 2–0 Landmark week for the Royals.

With his standout play, Tornabene is the latest selection for Peggy's Scranton Athlete of the Week, recognizing his impact on a Scranton team that has opened the season 6–1 and continues to build momentum in conference play.

Scranton returns to the floor on Sunday, Dec. 14, hosting Stevens Institute of Technology at 2:00 p.m. in the John Long Center.
