Rovinsky transferring to Susquehanna U

Zach Rovinsky, Western Wayne’s all-time leading boys basketball scorer, is switching schools.

Rovinsky, a second-team Class 4A all-state choice as a senior in the 2019-20 season, announced the move to Susquehanna University on Twitter Thursday. He began college at the University of Scranton, but did not appear in any games for the Royals in the 2021 season.

The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 22.8 points and 12.2 rebounds as a senior. NEPABasketball.com named him a three-time Lackawanna League Division 2 all-star and a first-team, all-District 2 choice in his senior year.

Rovinsky finished with 1,637 career points at Western Wayne.

Susquehanna, a Landmark Conference rival of Scranton’s, canceled its 2020-21 season because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It went 21-8, defeated the Royals in the Landmark final and advanced to the second round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III national tournament in 2019-20.
