Coach Chris Drenning's quote: "Patrick has always been a terrific shooter, but he's worked very tirelessly on his mid-range game and ability to get to the basket. His improvement in all areas of his offensive game has made him very difficult to guard. He's developed into one of our leaders this season and is the type of person any program would be proud to have represent them. We are very happy he's a Marauder."
