He chipped in 5.7 rpg and 3.6 apg while he appeared in and started all 31 games of the season, a feat achieved by no other Hoya.

Sorber was also one of two unanimous selections to the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team. He and fellow frosh Liam McNeeley (UConn) were the only freshman to earn third team honors and unanimous selections to the all-freshman squad.
