Did You Know?: Chris has two sisters who both play softball in college.

"Chris has been a four-year starter for MSMC and has improved each and every year in every statistical category.  However the reason why he is such a special player who is so valuable and irreplaceable in our program cannot be measured in points, rebounds, or any other statistic.  He is the heart and soul of this team and the emotional leader of our entire program.  He is our rock, my staff and I along with every player look to him to lead the way in practice and in games, and he has always delivered.  It has truly been a pleasure coaching Chris and his imprint will be left on our program for many years to come."

MSMC Head Coach Ryan Kadlubowski
