Sims made a seamless transition to the DI ranks for NEC newcomer Stonehill last week, contributing 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks over three outings. He shot a robust 64.7 percent from the field and 90.9 percent from the stripe. After scoring a team-high 12 points at UConn in the season opener on Monday, he came back on Thursday with 18 of his 24 points in the second half of a 102-95 setback to Quinnipiac in Stonehill’s home opener. He made 8-13 shots and was 8-9 from the line. Sims earned his first start two days later and sparked the Skyhawks to their first DI win, an 82-77 road conquest at Army West Point that saw the Mount Laurel, NJ product finish with a game-high 21 points on 9-11 shooting. He paced all players with eight caroms. Sims, a fifth-year player who was named third team All-NE10 a year ago, finished his first week ranked second in the NEC in both scoring and field goal accuracy.
