BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Feb. 1, 2023) – Medgar Evers senior Mousa Sinera etched his name into the NCAA Division III record book on Jan. 31 against Hunter College, setting the Division III single-game record for total rebounds.
Sinera, who entered Tuesday’s contest needing just 64 more rebounds to reach 1,000 for his career, took a giant step in doing so, snatching a Division III- record 43 rebounds. The previous mark of 36 rebounds was shared by two individuals, including Clinton Montford, who as a member of Methodist, accomplished the feat against Warren Wilson back in 1989. The other student-athlete was Mark Veenstra, as he did it for Calvin against Colorado St.-Pueblo back in 1976.
Remarkably, Sinera came within 10 rebounds of the all-time NCAA record, which was set by Jim Roberts, as he snatched a whopping 53 boards for Sewanee against Lambuth back in February of 1958.
This season, Sinera is one of the top rebounders in the country. As of February 1, the forward ranks No.2 in total rebounds (285) and rebounds per game (13.1).
