Football Offensive Player – Utica
Jesse Baldassare, Senior, RB – Mt. Sinai, NY/Mt. Sinai
Senior running back Jesse Baldassare rushed for four touchdowns as the Utica College football team cemented its best record in program-history with a convincing 47-24 victory over host Hartwick College in Empire 8 Conference play Saturday afternoon. Baldassare rushed the ball 30 times for 197 yards and became the College's all-time leading rusher to cap his career-day. He needed 195 yards rushing headed into the contest to break the school-record for yards rushing in a career. His 197-yard effort did just that, as he surpassed Mike Capra as the College's all-time leading rusher.
