Sean Purtill

 
 
 Sean Purtill has been named as the Hilbert College April Student-Athlete of the Month.
Purtill (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park) finished the month ranked in the top two spots in several offensive categories as the Hawks went 3-4 in April. The sophomore led Hilbert with 27 points (15 goals), and 64 shots (41 on goal) during the last month of the season just as the Hawks were fighting for a play-off spot in their first season of competition in the North Eastern Athletic Conference.

For the season, Purtill led the team in points (43) goals and assists (25/18), shots and shots on goal (95/60). 
Purtill is pursuing a business administration degree and carries a 3.07 grade point average.
