FDU Hall of Fame
A standout point guard for the men’s basketball team, Louis Alberto led the Knights to a NE NCAA Tournament appearance as team captain in 1963. A team MVP, Alberto battled through a wrist injury in his senior season to come back and help head coach Dick Holub lead the Knights back to the NCAA tournament in his final season, leading the Knights in field goal percentage at 48.6, and averaging 14.1 points per game. After helping the team win the Tri-State Conference, he was named to the Second Team NCAA Northeast Regional All-American team, the Tristate Conference Second Team, and was named FDU’s outstanding athlete in his final season for FDU. Alberto, who practiced law in New Jersey, returned to FDU as a professor of business law for 11 years before moving on to University of South Florida where he assumed the same role before retiring.
