“Joe defines what it means to be a true student-athlete, he is someone who excels both on and off the court. Through his tireless work ethic, passion, dedication and determination he has developed into one of the top players in the skyline conference. He is a leader on our team and someone that his teammates respect and look up to for his ability to excel not only on the court but in the classroom and in the community. I am very proud of the player and more importantly the person that he has become during his career here at Mount Saint Mary.”
