The announcement was made Sunday at the conclusion of the HVMAC Championship Game between St. Joseph's (Brooklyn) and Berkeley College, won by Berkeley College.

His 25 points during a 66-56 win over Post University on Feb. 6 were a season high, and his outstanding play down the stretch helped lead Mount Saint Vincent to three wins during their final four regular season games. Salamone was the model of consistency for Mount Saint Vincent, averaging 8.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
