Before reaching 'The Show,' Militello pitched three years with the Spartans.' ' The Jefferson High School product culminated his collegiate career with a record-setting 1990 season, winning 15 games with a 1.75 ERA and 182 strikeouts, all school records.' He was named NCAA Division II Player of the Year, nominated for the prestigious Golden Spikes Award and later inducted into the UT Athletic Hall of Fame.

I covered my first University of Tampa women's basketball game on Saturday afternoon as the Spartans beat the No. 18 Rollins Tars 71-48. I saw a very good team with diverse skill sets all around, but one player's court dominance stood out above all others: that of a 5'7' senior guard named Hailee Sullivan. That game turned out to be a career best with 26 points (9-13; 7-10 3-point) alongside five assists. Myself and the others in attendance, including opposing fans, watched in amazement as she drained one long-range shot after another. Across the press table, even the Rollins commentator raved about Sullivan's talents. In a game in which nobody else on either team scored more than 11 points, she suddenly dropped 26 on a ranked conference rival."
