Vinny was always seen with a smile on his face on the field, in the weight room, and walking across campus. He missed the last ten games of his sophomore season after suffering an injury but rehabbed tirelessly during the offseason to return to the pitch for ten games this year playing the sport he loved. Losing a student or any member of our College community is very difficult. I share deep concern for the wellbeing of Vinny’s friends and teammates and others who are struggling with this shocking and upsetting news.”

Vinny’s journey with the Valiants was marked by resilience and dedication. Overcoming an injury that sidelined him for a portion of his sophomore season, he demonstrated unwavering commitment and determination to return stronger. His love for the sport and the camaraderie with his teammates were evident in his infectious smile, a constant presence whether on the field, in the weight room, or simply strolling across campus.
