BEVERLY, Mass. — The Conference of New England Announced on Wednesday afternoon that Endicott College baseball standout Nicolas Notarangelo (Taunton, Mass.) was named the conference's nominee for the DIIICA Men's Athlete of the Year award.
A senior for the Gulls in 2024, Notarangelo established himself with a hearty resume prior to his graduation in May.

He finished his career at Endicott as a two-time College World Series Participant, two-time Super Regional Champion, three-time Regional Champion, and three-time Conference Champion.
Among his other accolades on the field, in the classroom, he finished with a 3.66 GPA as a digital media major with a concentration in journalism. He earned three Academic All-Conference honors. He was involved on campus with ECTV, the social media manager for the Gulls' baseball accounts, as well as a Sports Information Assistant with the Endicott Athletic Communications department.
Notarangelo ended his career at Endicott with a .338 batting average, with 27 home runs, 52 doubles, 197 hits, and 157 RBI. He added 29 career stolen bases, and 138 runs scored over his four seasons with the Gulls.
