JAMAICA, NY --- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) Throughout the month of April, yorkathletics.com will highlight those who have given us everything they had on the playing fields with senior features for each team's 2020-21 senior class.  With the cancellation of sports for the 2020-21 academic year, York athletics will celebrate and recognize our seniors online and on social media with our #YorkSeniorDay.  Today, head coach Nolan Adams celebrates Mambe Koureissi as the sole member of the 2020-21 men's basketball senior class for his dedication to York athletics.  

As a native of Harlem, Koureissi graduated from the High School for Environmental Studies.  Prior to enrolling at York, Koureissi attended Mohawk Valley Community College.  During his lone season as a member of the men's basketball team in 2019-20, Koureissi made starts in 23 of his 24 games played for the Cardinals.  Koureissi led the team with 8.4 rebounds per contest and also contributed 11.8 points, 1.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks.  Leading York with seven double-doubles (points/rebounds), Koureissi poured in a career-high 25 points at Keystone College (Nov. 23, 2019) and pulled-down 16 rebounds versus SUNY Potsdam (Dec. 13, 2019).  Koureissi closed out his career with an 11-point, 13-rebound effort in the season finale at Medgar Evers College (Feb. 15, 2020).  He played in 52 matches over the course of three seasons (2018-20) for the men's volleyball team and also was a member of the track & field program during the 2019 season.  Koureissi will be graduating with a degree in movement science.
