STSN Announcer Receives Binghamton Senators Scholarship For Third Straight Year

Binghamton, New York

Southern Tier Sports Network is proud to announce that Rob Lippolis has recently been chosen as a Tommy Mitchell Scholarship award winner by the Binghamton Senators hockey club for the third consecutive year. Lippolis, who broadcasts hockey, baseball, and softball games for the website, is majoring in Communications at SUNY Oswego. After the Senators announced that Lippolis would be receiving the 2010 scholarship, he stated "It is quite an honor to again be selected. Every year, it gets harder and harder to win and to be selected as a recipient three years in a row is a great feeling.The scholarship not only requires good grades but showing you're striving to reach your life goals."

Matt Brannen, STSN President & CEO, commented "Rob is an extremely important contributor to the success of Southern Tier Sports Network and his continued recognition by the Binghamton Senators only shows that he is well on his way towards his academic and professional goals. The Tommy Mitchell Scholarship is one of the most well-respected honors in the Greater Binghamton area and the Senators once again made a terrific choice by selecting Rob." In the past year, Lippolis added the NCAA Division 3 Final Frozen Four from Lake Placid, New York and the March 17th Binghamton Senators-Hershey Bears game to his already impressive broadcasting resume.
