The inaugural trophy of the inaugural class was presented to Dr. Robert George, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs on March 8. One of five teams in the GT Bray Basketball League in Bradenton, Florida, Team LECOM consisted of nine LECOM Bradenton students and after 10 season games and after one “hotly contested, hard-fought game” playoff game, they won the school’s first trophy. Team members, from left to right, are Joseph Hauter, Michael Cosgrove, Saad Hussain, Dzi-Viet Nguyen, Swarup Misra, Najam Fasiuddin and Daniel Heard. (Not shown are Justin Van Meeteren and Keith Knigge)
According to Dzi-Viet Nguyen they found a balance between medical school’s first semester finals and playing in a league. “We started out slow because of a lack of chemistry, but as we kept playing each of us fell into our roles and we finished on a 4-games winning streak going into the playoffs. We left this league with countless memories and stories to tell.”
Congratulations Team LECOM!
