An NEC All-Rookie selection as a freshman and a 2015-16 preseason All-NEC pick, Broome powered Sacred Heart to a 76-64 season-opening victory over Quinnipiac at the Connecticut 6 on Friday night. Broome established career-highs with a game-best 27 points and four steals, and added six rebounds while turning the ball over just once in 37 minutes. His 12 free throw attempts was also a personal best and his 20 attempts from the stripe matched a 45-year old school record set by Bob Gers vs. Stonehill on January 13, 1971. After Quinnipiac pulled within one with 5:31 remaining, Broome followed two Chris Robinson free throws with four straight points to reestablish a seven point Pioneer lead. He then made two free throws with 1:24 on the clock, putting an exclamation point on a 13-1 run.
