Berkeley College's men's basketball program featured in New York Times article; Piece fixates on evolution of program and diligence of coaches/student-athletes

Berkeley College's men's basketball team is currently in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, as it gets set to make a push for its third consecutive USCAA National Men's Basketball Championship. The Knights' first game in this year's tournament will be Thursday evening, March 2 at 5:30pm, as Berkeley will take on the winner of the Villa Maria-Andrews contest in the Maltho Gymnasium on the campus of Penn State Fayette. 

In a piece written for the New York Times by Louie Lazar, Lazar reveals a plethora of facts about Berkeley College's most successful athletics program, as he details the program's evolution through the years. The informative piece details the struggles and challenges overcame by coaches and student-athletes, and the "team-first" mentality that has contributed to the squad's epic 50-game winning steak (61 wins in 62 games overall).
