Players Mentioned

Ian Bank: 6' 0"; Sophomore; I chose Union for a number of reasons. The main one being that I love the atmosphere socially as well as academically. I fell in love with the campus on my first visit during my senior year of high school.

David Bond: 5' 9"; Sophomore; I came to Union for the intimate learning environment and the opportunities available to me at such a small institution. It has allowed me to expand my boundaries as a person without ever becoming overwhelming.

Justin Gold: 5' 7"; Sophomore; I chose to attend Union because of the strong academic reputation, as well as the tight-knit student-teacher relationships. Also, I chose to go to Union to continue my tennis career in such a competitive conference as the Liberty League.

Zach Kaplan: 5' 8"; Junior; It was hard to differentiate all of the small northeastern liberal arts colleges that I was visiting. I ended up narrowing down my list to about three schools and spent the night at all three. I immediately felt at home on my overnight at Union, and felt that it would be the perfect fit between my social life, academics, and tennis.

Del Schunk: 6' 2"; Sophomore; Union College was my first choice among the many small liberal arts colleges I was planning to apply to. I first heard of the school from my teammate Zach Kaplan, who I knew from home. Once I went on my recruiting, visit I immediately fell in love with the school and all it had to offer.

Max Egna: 5' 10"; First Year; I chose to attend Union because of many reasons. First, when I stayed on an overnight, I was extremely impressed with the coaching staff and team members. All the guys on the team were super friendly and easy to get along with, which was a very important piece in my decision to come to Union. Next, I thought that the social life at Union was far better than any of the other schools I visited; people here are very nice and inviting. Lastly, the great academics were exactly what I was looking for. Class sizes are small and you always get the attention you need.

Austin Egna: 5' 10"; First Year; I chose Union because it just seemed so perfect for me. The athletics combined with the academics complement each other, and, for such a small liberal arts college, the spirit and all around positive interactions I had at the school amazed me and made me want to become part of something special.
