Aaron Galletta
Enters his senior year
with 1,286 points.

Junior forward Aaron Galletta (Hyde Park, NY/F.D. Roosevelt) completed another outstanding season for the Dutchmen and will enter his senior year in sixth place on Union's all-time scoring list with 1,286 points. Galletta, who tallied 423 points in 25 games this season after scoring 465 points in 29 contests last year, is six points behind Ken D'Orazio (Class of 1985).

While Galletta would need a career year (and 504 points) to catch all-time leading scorer Joe Cardany's (Class of 1981) total of 1,790, the 6'7, 170-pounder needs only 347 points to surpass Jim Tedisco's (Class of 1972) 1,632 points for second place. Galletta scored 398 points as a freshman.

Two other Dutchmen will join the 1,000-Point Club early next season. Juniors Dave Musella (Loudonville, NY/Bishop Maginn) and C.J. Rodgers (Chicago, IL/St. Rita's) have 994 and 942 points, respectively.

The Dutchmen's 13-12 record gave the team its third consecutive winning season for the first time since the 1980-81 through 1982-83 campaigns. The Garnet last had four-straight winning seasons from 1979-80 through 1982-83.
