JIM MARTOCCHIO ('01): The all-time leading goal scorer in Plymouth State men's lacrosse history, Martocchio obliterated the Panther scoring record book.  Only one other player in school history has ever scored 50 goals in a season, and Martocchio did it all four years, including an amazing 86 goals and 100 points his junior year.

A native of Simsbury, Conn., Martocchio became a fixture as a freshman, breaking the 27-year-old school record with a 53-goal season. He came back to break his own record with 57 goals as a sophomore before the monster junior year and a solid 56 goals as a senior. His career total of 252 goals is 76 more than any other player in the program's history. He also set the single-game scoring mark in 2000 with 11 goals, including the game-winner, in a 14-13 overtime win over Saint Michael's.

Martocchio led the Panthers to the post-season all four years under three different coaches, participating in the Pilgrim League play-offs three times and the ECAC Tournament his senior year. He helped the team to 11 wins in 1998, second-most in school history.
