Junior Tommy Carpenter of Greensboro, North Carolina, received the John DiIorio ’56 Award for hustle, drive and determination.

His 4.0 points per game were supplemented by 2.9 rebounds (fourth on the team), 30 total assists (fifth) and nine blocks (third). Seven of his 14 steals came in the two games against the Ivy co-leader, Harvard, and during the Big Green’s five-game winning streak to end the season, Carpenter averaged 8.4 points while shooting 17-for-29 (.586) with 5.4 rebounds.
