Branca, Rosario named MCC Athletes of the Week


MCC swimmer Daniel Branca (Panama) and women's basketball player Kristina Rosario (Atlantic City, NJ/Absegami) were named the MCC Athletes of the Week.

Branca, a freshman, set a Region III record in the 1,650-yard freestyle in MCC's 85-46 win over Alfred State last week. Branca's time of 16:48.26 also set an MCC pool record, which was previously head by current Tribune coach Dan Dubois. Along with his 1,650 win, Branca also won the 200 butterfly (2:09.14).

Rosario, a sophomore forward, averaged 12.3 points and 10 rebounds in three MCC victories last week.  She had 11 points and eight rebounds against Mercyhurst NE,  10 points and 10 rebounds against Alfred State, and 16 points and 12 rebounds against Medaille JV.  Rosario shot 52 percent on the week.
