DELHI, N.Y. (February 2, 2021) - The SUNY Delhi Athletics Broncos of the Week takes on a new meaning this semester. We are excited to collaborate with our community to highlight our local student-athletes, and turning to our Broncos who have excelled academically. Each week we will showcase our Broncos through "Nate Lull's Local Look" and our "Scholar Athlete Student Spotlight."
Nate Lull's Local Look: Matt Murphy, Men's Basketball (Morris, NY / Morris)
WCDO Sports Director Nate Lull is based in Sidney, NY and reports on high school sports in the counties that surround SUNY Delhi. Many of the athletes Nate covers continue their sports careers by joining the Bronco family. Each week Nate will highlight a local player that he covered in high school and is now in college at SUNY Delhi.
This week Nate has selected Matt Murphy from Men's Basketball. Matt is a native of Morris, NY.
Nate says: "Murph was one of the most electrifying basketball players in our area during his high school years. His quick moves and amazing court vision left many defenders powerless against him. I remember when he scored 55 points and joined the 1,000 career point club all in the same night. That was incredible to watch. I am sure he will make his mark at SUNY Delhi as well."
Check back next week for another one of Nate's picks!
Scholar Athlete Student Spotlight: Becky Drumm, Women's Soccer (Pine Bush, NY / Pine Bush)
Sophomore Becky Drumm is a Criminal Justice major and on game day is one of the Broncos' upbeat and energetic leaders. Despite remaining home for the Fall 2020 semester, Becky never missed a beat on both ends of her responsibilities as a student-athlete, keeping close contact with Coach Lauren Mackay and the women's soccer program, while achieving a perfect 4.0 GPA for the semester. She holds the highest GPA on the team. As a freshman in 2019, Becky played in 13 matches with four starts, tallying one assist, and was named a SUNY Delhi Scholar Athlete. Becky and the Broncos posted a 9-7-2 record in 2019, advancing to the NAC Semifinals following an electric 5-0 conference quarterfinals win over SUNY Canton.
