Posted: Feb 28, 2021

DELHI, N.Y. (February 28, 2021) - In honor of Black History Month, we at SUNY Delhi give credit to our long-standing mission of diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities. We honor our proud history in this fight by recognizing those outstanding athletics alumni. As this is our final week, we thank you all for following along with us for Broncos Black History Month! Just because February is coming to an end doesn't mean our stories stop here. Every day is a new opportunity to make history, and we'll be here to share it! Thank you to everyone who contributed and were featured as part of this extraordinary celebration!

KAMAAL STANLEY '13 - LACROSSE, TRACK & FIELD

Kamaal Stanley was part of Delhi men's lacrosse during its rise as a regional power. He also was a member of the track & field team. From Saratoga Springs, NY, Kamaal joined the Broncos as a freshman defender for the 2011 season, even tallying three goals during the year. For academic reasons, Kamaal, a HVAC & Refrigeration major, took a hiatus for the 2012 campaign, but made a triumphant return to the Broncos for a momentous 2013. The team flourished with an 11-5 record (then the highest season win total in school history) and a first-round win in the Region 3 Tournament. Kamaal stood alongside a steady defense that gave up only 6.69 goals per game, while he himself netted one goal of his own. The following year he transferred to the University of DC, a NCAA Division II historically black college, as a member of the school's first men's lacrosse program in 2014. He started every game for the Firebirds in 2014 and 2015, leading the team in caused turnovers both seasons with a career total of 34, while tallying two career goals. He graduated with a degree in Business Management.

ANTORI ABRAHAM '17 - TRACK & FIELD

Antori Abraham was one of the first four-year student-athletes in the history of the SUNY Delhi track & field program. She once held the school records in the weight throw and hammer throw, and continues to rank second in school history in the outdoor shot put. Antori helped the Broncos to the 2014 NJCAA Outdoor National Championship, finishing seventh in both the shot put and hammer throw. The following year at the Region 3 Outdoor Championships, Antori took second in the shot put, hammer throw, and discus throw, then at nationals finished fifth, eighth, and tenth, respectively, as the women placed second. Antori made the transition with the Broncos to four-year athletics beginning with the 2015-16 year, as she broke the school weight throw record that season at Colgate University. The following year as a senior, Antori placed second in the hammer throw and third in the shot put as the Delhi women captured its first USCAA National Invitational title. The following week in her final meet, Antori used her last career throw to recapture the school hammer throw record (39.22m) in a season-long record battle with freshman Diana Echols. Antori graduated from SUNY Delhi with a Bachelor's in Culinary Arts.

FRANCISCO INFANTE '15 - BASKETBALL

Francisco "Cisco" Infante appeared in 62 games with 36 starts during his two-year ride with the Broncos from 2013-15. The Bronx native's career totals accounted for 586 points, 180 assists, and 148 rebounds. His freshman season in 2013-14, Delhi amassed a 26-6 record and advanced to the NJCAA Region 3 Semifinals. Cisco moved into the starting rotation for his sophomore year, ranking first on the team with 1.8 steals per game and second with 15.2 points per game and 4.0 assists per game. The program tallied 18 wins, clinching yet another regional tournament spot in what would be the Broncos' final year in the NJCAA. Cisco's indelible accomplishments earned him the Coach's Award. He continued on to Stony Brook University, receiving his Bachelor's in Psychology. He is currently working in the social services field, helping to coordinate services for low-income families with children with mental health concerns. Cisco still contributes on the court as a youth basketball coach, where his team won a national title in 2019. He also is pursuing his Master's from Hunter College, where he hopes to become a school counselor.

ED YARNGO '93 - BASKETBALL

Ed Yarngo played two different roles during the early years of the SUNY Delhi men's basketball team's national tournament runs. He came on board in 1991-92 when the Broncos captured their first 30-win season and placed fourth nationally. Although he was unable to play the second half of the season, Yarngo remained close to the team as a student assistant. His patience paid off when the 6'6" center suited up for the 1992-93 year, keeping the team ahead of the eight ball despite losing many key graduating players from '91-92. He and forward Mel Hathaway averaged a staggering 14 points per game and 19 rebounds per game as the Broncos reached the 1993 national semifinals for the very first time, beating Hudson Valley in the opening round and falling to eventual champion Onondaga. Ed took his talents to Plattsburgh State, where as a senior he and the Cardinals reached the SUNYAC championship game and a bid to the NCAA national tournament. He was recognized as a SUNYAC Honorable Mention, Columbia Multimedia All-East Honorable Mention, and earning the school's Senior Achievement Award. He was inducted into the SUNY Delhi Athletics Hall of Fame in 2018 as a member of that historic 1991-92 Broncos men's basketball team.

STEFAN CORREIA '19 - SOCCER

When Estefano "Stefan" Correia committed to SUNY Delhi for the 2015 season, he also made the commitment to become one of the first four-year student-athletes in men's soccer history. The 6'2" defender's time at Delhi accounted for 45 wins from 2015-18. His first two seasons the Broncos made the USCAA National Tournament in 2015 and 2016, followed by back-to-back conference finals appearances in 2017 and 2018. As team captain his senior season, the Broncos matched the program's highest season wins total with 13 as Stefan led a defense that gave up just 18 goals all season for a 1.11 goals allowed average. This included three shutout victories and going ten games allowing only one goal. Stefan was named the ACAA Player of the Year, All-ACAA First Team, USCAA First Team All-American, and the Coach's Award. He graduated from SUNY Delhi in 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in Architecture.
