Why Cortland:
The support Cortland gives athletics made my decision easy from the start. The sense of family and dedication to academics along with athletics is what makes Cortland so unique. Also, my father being an alum gave me a sense of pride when making my decision.

Player notes from Coach Cardarelli:
A battler in the net who was among the USPHL Elite league leaders in all major goaltending categories during his last year of Junior hockey.
