Nelson added 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals, and 2.5 assists per game to his stat line while shooting 53% from the field.

The scoring output was the highest total by a Hofstra freshman against a ranked opponent in the Pride’s tenure in the CAA and the fourth-most points by any Hofstra player against a top 25 opponent in that stretch.
