With the win, DeGeorge surpassed the late Bill Knapton’s record for the most wins in a single sport at Beloit College. Knapton still holds the record as the winningest coach, with 588 total wins in men’s basketball and baseball combined.
Since taking over the baseball program in 1991, DeGeorge’s teams have won three conference titles in twelve Midwest Conference Tournament appearances. He is also the winningest coach in league history and a five-time Midwest Conference Coach of the Year. He has coached over 200 Academic All-Conference honorees since the league began recognizing student-athletes in 2006.
