- Arrington was the leading scorer on the team averaging 14.6 points per game. The Norfolk native and maintenance electrician apprentice started the season red-hot scoring 22 points against Averett University, Francis Marion University, Southern Maine CC and University of Maine-Fort Kent. His season best was a 26-point outing in a road victory over Randolph College. He had six assists in a game four times and six steals twice.

He had nine rebounds in a game four times and tied the school single-game assist record with 10 against Chowan in February.
