"I have become the person and professional I have because of the game of soccer," said Bianco. "Many of my fondest experiences have happened around the game and I feel fortunate to give back to our sport through leadership of the Division III Men's Soccer Championship Committee. I look forward to our committee's continued work to provide a tremendously impactful experience for our student-athletes."
