Name: Shea Fitzgerald
Year: Sophomore
Team: Men’s basketball
Stats: The sophomore guard has put together a strong offensive campaign this season, playing a critical role in Vassar’s Liberty-League-leading 77.1 points-per-game. Fitzgerald was critical in the Brewers two big wins last weekend, which collectively secured top position in the Liberty League. In the decisive match against RPI, Fitzgerald netted 18 points on 6-13 shooting in the 66-48 win. Throughout the season, the Vassar Athletics Rookie-of-the-Year runner-up has been a force. Fitzgerald is first in the Liberty League in points-per-game with 20.8, third in the league in field goal percentage at .435, third in the league in three-point-field goal percentage at .372 and third in the league in steals-per-game at 2.0.
Statement: “I think our success so far can be attributed to every member of the team’s consistent hard work and trust in one another. All of us are bought into a common goal of winning and we are all willing to make sacrifices to achieve that goal. We are a tight-knit group on and off the court and I think that has really benefited us this season.”
