Muchie Dagliere was a four year starter at Second Base for the Minutemen.

As a Freshmen (1995) Muchie helped Umass earn their first trip to the NCAA Regionals since
1978 by compiling a .343 avg. 62 hits, 50 runs, and 8 HR’s.

In 1996, the Minutemen earn their second straight NCAA Regional Tournament
appearance by winning the A-10 Tournament. Muchie set a school single season record
for hits with 81 while hitting .415, 60 runs, 53 RBI's and 13 doubles.
Through a variety of injuries during his junior season (1997), Muchie was still
able to earn Third Team All-American honors and Second Team All-A-10 honors by still
playing in 41 games and hitting a career low of .318 with 47 hits, 36 runs, and 36 RBI's.
