Rupp is perhaps the best, most consistent, and most important player to his team in the region. The senior Mount St. Mary’s signee has done it all for the Dragons, serving as their primary faceoff man while also being a serious threat on offense and a solid defender on the back end at times, as well. Being especially strong at the dot when it comes to offensive exits, he can sometimes be a one-man wrecking crew for the Dragons to keep them in and win games.
