HAMDEN,
Conn. - Quinnipiac University men's basketball junior forward
Justin Rutty (Newburgh, N.Y.) has been named among the top 36
players at mid-major Division I colleges by CollegeInsider.com, the
website today announced. Rutty joined a group of 11 players
honorably mentioned, while the top 25 players earned Preseason
Mid-Major All-America Team recognition. The selections were made by
