A two-time Ivy League Player of the Week, he was named to the ECAC All-Star second team as a senior. A four-year letter winner, he graduated with school records for career batting average (.362), slugging percentage (.599), triples (18) and total bases (303). He earned second-team All-Ivy honors as a sophomore and was a first-team pick in each of his final two seasons.
