Hall of Fame
One of the most decorated men's soccer players in program history, Latronica was a two-time NSCAA All-American (1995 and 1996); a three-time NSCAA All-New England selection (1995, 1996 and 1997); and a four-time Atlantic 10 All-Conference selection (1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997). The four-year team captain led Rhode Island to back-to-back NCAA Championship appearances in 1995 and 1996. In 1995, he recorded a shutout victory over St. Francis in the opening round of the NCAA Championship. Latronica led Rhode Island to Atlantic 10 regular-season titles in both 1995 and 1996, and a conference tournament title in 1995. They represented the first conference titles in program history. In 1995, he led the Rams to a program-best record of 19-2-2 and helped URI achieve Top 10 national rankings in both 1995 and 1996. He remains the Atlantic 10 record holder for shutouts in a single season with 13 in 1995. He also is still Rhode Island's program record holder for career shutouts (25) and single-season goals-against average (0.69 in 1995). In 1998, Latronica was recognized as URI's Elizabeth Holmes Student Athlete of the Year. He earned 1996 Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference honors and was the 1996-97 ECAC Scholar Athlete of the Year. In 1996, Latronica was a USAA All-American Scholar and a finalist for the NECAC Student Athlete of the Year.
