Just 2 weeks left! Today we honor the late Angelo Griffis who remains one of our all-time great players. In his two-year career at Rochester, he recorded 14 double-doubles and was named an NAIA All-American in 2017 and a two-time USCAA All-American. We miss you every day Los!
Congratulations to Armand Cartwright being named to the NAIA All America Third Team. Averaging 20.88 points per game, Cartwright ended his career just shy of 2,000 points.
The win against UNOH marks a special occasion as Garth and Klint Pleasant now have 1000 combined wins as head coaches. They continue the quest to beat Eddie and Scott Sutton's record 1,218 wins as father-son.
