Bio
Matt Croci is one of the greats in the storied history of Wittenberg men's basketball. A four-year letterwinner, Croci claimed team most valuable player and first-team All-North Coast Athletic Conference honors in 1993 and 1994. As a senior, Croci led the Tigers to the only undefeated regular season in school history en route to NCAC Player of the Year and third-team All-America honors. Croci, who holds school records for three-pointers made and attempted in a season, topped the squad with 18.9 points per game as Wittenberg marched all the way to a third-place finish in the 1994 NCAA Division III Tournament. In Croci's four years as a collegian, the Tigers compiled a 98-18 record, including a school-record mark of 30-2 in 1994, and won four regular season conference titles and two NCAC Tournament crowns. He ranks ninth in career assists, 11th in career points and seventh in season points. A native of Maumee, Ohio, Croci earned his Wittenberg degree in English. He is now the head men's basketball coach at Kenyon College and resides in Lewis Center, Ohio.
