Randall Stallworth ranks second in the Northeast-10 at 5.3 assists per game.

The Mavericks are coming off of a 88-83 defeat at the hands of New York Tech last Wednesday. They were led by junior Michael Marin's 27 points and Paul Flowers' 22 points and nine rebounds. Marin and senior Chanze Wellington are the team's leading scorers at 14.4 and 14.1 points respectively. Flowers, who also averages 8.7 rebounds a game, is the third Maverick averaging double figures at 10.7 a night. Wellington is shooting a robust 50 percent from behind the arc (20-for-40), a place in which more than half of his made shots come from. Mercy has struggled from the field however, shooting just 36 percent as a team and is getting outrebounded by nearly 10 boards a game under first year head coach Tony Staffiere.
