2007-08
Evanovich enjoyed one of the best debuts in school history when he tallied 20 points in the season opener against Wake Forest. He netted six of seven shots from the floor and made all five three-point attempts. He also added five steals and three assists in his 25 minutes of work. He would equal that point total one more time, hitting the mark by making seven of 11 field goals (6 of 8 three pointers) at Loyola. Nearly two-thirds of his field goals came from behind the three-point line (50 of 76 field goals). Seven of his nine double-digit scoring games were against conference opponents. Evanovich scored in his first 29 games as a Stag, but saw the streak end in the MAAC tournament when he went scoreless versus Loyola. He tallied more assists (38) than turnovers (34) during the season. The forward came off the bench in the first nine games of the season and the last six contests of the campaign. In between, he started 14 of 15 games, coming off the bench at Marist during that stretch. He was one of the team's top free throw shooters, making 83.3 percent of his attempts (25 of 30) and hitting 19 of his first 22 charity tosses.

Smith to two conference championships, and helped South Kent Prep reach the NEPSAC Division A championship game.
