SYRACUSE – Onondaga Community College men’s basketball player Zack Thomsen (New Berlin Unadilla Valley) has accepted a scholarship to continue his education and play basketball at West Virginia University Institute of Technology in Montgomery, West Virginia.
WVU Tech is a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division I school, and is a member of the Mid-South Conference. It had two schools advance to the NAIA Final Four this past season and is generally regarded as one of the premier NAIA conferences in the nation. The Golden Bears finished 11-16 this past season.
