Saint Anselm College

2010-2011 Team Captain

Coach Dickson on Mariano: "John has come off the bench for most of his career and filled a variety of roles for us in the backcourt. He has been the backup point guard for the last two years after playing mostly the wing position as a freshman. John is a tough, physical kid and an extremely competitive player – he is a wonderful teammate and will be asked to provide stable leadership as one of this year’s captains."
