He first notched a career-high 30 points on 9-of-16 shooting from the field and 6-of-9 shooting from three point range, in the Ospreys’ 75-70 defeat to rival Rowan. He wrapped up the week by notching a game-high 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field and 5-of-8 shooting from three point range, as Stockton posted a 78-75 road win over previous NJAC unbeaten William Paterson to clinch both the NJAC South Division Championship and a first round bye in the NJAC Tournament. Lancioni, who was a perfect 9-of-9 from the foul line in the two contests combined, currently leads the NJAC in three-point field goal percentage (.480).
