Twice a month, we'll visit with a different Spider student-athlete in the Spider Spotlight.
The son of basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman, Cline has seen his first action this year after transferring from Niagara after the 2012-13 season. He has been an instant hit, shooting over 60 percent from the field and averaging 13.5 points per game, good for second on the team.
