Favorite Plattsburgh State Sports Moment:
“A few things come to mind, but there are too many to list them all. Some highlights include beating Brockport in the 2002 SUNYAC game, beating Tufts on our California spring break trip, pitching a no-hitter against Brockport my senior year and building lifelong bonds with my teammates on and off the field.”
