Kevin Van Dam, a fixture in Bentley's starting lineup throughout his career, was one of the premier three-point shooters in Falcon history. In fact, he's the only one with both 200 career three-balls and a lifetime shooting percentage of at least .400 from behind the arc. Kevin, before being named Bentley's Outstanding Male Senior Athlete in 2002, connected 256 times from downtown, finding the target nearly 41 percent of the time.
 
Kevin, whose scoring average increased each season and peaked at nearly 18 points his senior year, helped lead Bentley to the 2002 Northeast-10 playoff championship, the first in the program's history, and an NCAA tournament berth that same season. He ended his career with 1,575 points, which currently puts him 12th on Bentley's all-time scoring list.
 
Upon graduation, Kevin shared the Bentley career record for games started (115) with backcourt mate Pat Durgin. He set a school record for three-point accuracy as a freshman (.511) and finished seventh in the NE10 in both scoring and free throw percentage as a senior.
 
His accolades included second-team All-Northeast-10 and second-team Verizon Academic All-District (college division).
 
Kevin, who came to Bentley from Rumson, NJ., earned his MBA from Columbia.
