Volleyball: Five OCC players moving on

COSTA MESA - Orange Coast College men’s and women’s volleyball

coach Chuck Cutenese announced that five of his players, two women and

three men will be playing at four-year schools next season.

Women’s middle blocker Becky Baumgarten earned a scholarship to Chicago

State University, while outside hitter Susie Packard will continue her

career at North Dakota University.

Baumgarten finished fourth on OCC’s all-time blocks list with 101, while

Packard was second all-time with 460 kills and 394 digs.

On the men’s side, Dave Moser, Brian Brown and Joe Lattanzio will each be

playing elsewhere after solid careers at OCC.

Moser received a scholarship at the University of Arizona, Brown will

move on to Cal Baptist and Lattanzio will play at Cal State Northridge.

Last season, Moser led the Orange Empire Conference with 108 blocks and

posted a team-high 132 overall.

Brown’s team-leading attack percentage of .468 was the ninth-best

single-season mark in school history.

Lattanzio spent just one season with OCC. He was a transfer from SUNY-New

Paltz in New York.
