Samuelson ranked second among Frontier Conference players in both scoring and rebounding, averaging 18.5 points per game and collecting 242 boards over the course of the season. He led Rocky in both categories, finishing the campaign with 592 points and scoring double digits in all but one of Rocky’s 32 games.
