Quick hits

Sam Leclerc was money in the bank when he knotched his 1,00th career point against Monmouth this week. To mark the occasion, Leclerc’s mother, Brenda, had faux $1,000 bills made up with Sam’s smiling picture. Kids from the YMCA team Sam coaches were in the stands and helped count down the points from 10 with numbered posters.
