Angeloni named CACC Skor Baseball Coach of the Year

University of the Sciences men's baseball coach Frank Angeloni has been named the 2011 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Skor Coach of the Year as released by the conference office today along with the All-CACC Team.  The CACC head coaches conducted the voting for the awards.

Angeloni, who hails from Westville, New Jersey, has led the Devils to a huge turnaround in 2011. Last year, USciences won only four games all season, including a 1-19 mark in conference play. This season, Angeloni led the Devils to the CACC Tournament for the first time in program history after going 11-9 in conference play and 13-20 overall.

The former Camden County College head coach has been at the helm of the Devils program since the 2005 season.  In his seven years as head coach, he has recorded 55 wins, fifth most amongst all baseball coaches in the history of the program and only 11 behind the school's all-time leaders John Hyman (66 wins, 10 seasons) and Bob Bunnell (66 wins, 5 seasons).

A strong recruiter over the years, Angeloni's teams have included a lot of area talent, most notably, the Devils all-time hit leader in current first baseman Mark Perry (Toms River North HS), current designated hitter Pete LaRocco (Gloucester Catholic HS) (6th> all time in hits);  current first team All-CACC honorees Dan McMahon (Millville HS) and Kyle Davis (Garnet Valley HS)  as well as former outfielder Michael Curry (St. Pius X HS) who holds the Devils single season hit record (61) and was named to three different All-Region teams in 2008. 

Angeloni's teams have also been honored with two CACC Team Sportsmanship Awards (2009 and again in 2010).  Since the CACC Team Sportsmanship Award was first awarded in 2003, Angeloni is one of just two coaches to have his team earn the award twice, the other coach being Angeloni's predecessor at USciences Jack Bilbee (2003, 2004).

Prior to becoming Head Coach as USciences, Angeloni was the Head coach at Camden County College from 2000 to 2004.
