The group included a conference Freshman of the Year, a First Team All-Conference selection, multiple Honorable Mention honorees, and All-Defensive Team selections.

The group included athletes who earned Second Team and Third Team All-Conference recognition, multiple conference weekly awards, and an All-Freshman Team selection.

He later worked with Men’s Basketball, Women’s Volleyball, and Women’s Lacrosse at Marquette University, and completed a professional internship at the University of Minnesota, supporting NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey and contributing to the development of NHL, PWHL, and Olympic athletes.
