Dorsey, a senior from Baltimore, MD., averaged 23.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 4.0 steals in a pair of exciting road wins this past weekend as the Capers remained the only undefeated team in CIS regular season play this year, improving to a perfect 14-0 on the season.

In Saturday’s 76-74 triumph over the Dalhousie Tigers, Dorsey netted 14 points and added two rebounds, three assists and three steals as the Capers won their 14th regular season game in a row to sit in first place in the AUS standings.

The 6-foot-2 CBU guard currently leads the AUS in scoring (21.1 points per game), assists (4.9 per game) and steals (3.9 per game). His 3.9 steals per game also leads the country.
