Senior Year 2015-16
Despite being a junior, Joey's first year of college basketball was wildly successful. He was able to balance playing both basketball and tennis well, as he helped lead the tennis team to the 2015 SLIAC Championship while earning 1st Team All Conference at both 1st Doubles and 2nd Singles. Joey developed into the ultimate leader by example for the Principia Panthers, and was elected as one of our two captains for his senior year. His hustle, hard nosed defense, and offensive rebounding abilities are welcome skill sets that the team needs. This year look for Joey to improve his shot as well as his ball handling while leading his fellow Panther players as captain.

Junior Year 2014-15
Joey is a junior this year, but is finally playing on the basketball team. Joey played basketball in high school, but once he got to college decided to focus tennis. Since he has basically mastered that sport, first team all-conference in singles and doubles his first two years, he decided to bring his talents back to the hardwood. Joey has impressed everyone will his tenacity and determination when going after loose balls and rebounds. It would not surprise anyone on team if he led the team in rebounding. We are working on brushing the dust off of his basketball game, but with his athleticism everything is coming back easily.
