Senior Andreas Vlassopolous will undergo season and college career-ending surgery on his troublesome right knee soon, he told The Gazette Monday evening.

Vlassopolous has missed the past four games with pain in his right knee and decided over the weekend that he would have surgery.

“I’d thought about it for awhile,” he said. “It’s hurt for the last four years.”

Vlassopolous dislocated his right kneecap in his first game as a Tiger. After the second game against Northeastern, the pain has been too much to play on.

The center recorded 16 goals and 44 assists, including a one assist this season. The economics graduate said he was unsure if he will try to play pro after recovering from surgery.
