FOOTBALL

COLLEGE: Dominic Cusano, 26, a former University of Maine football player, died unexpectedly Sunday, the university announced on its website.

Cusano, from Wallingford, Conn., was a defensive back with the Black Bears from 2007-11 and also was a track sprinter. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 2010 and a master’s degree in 2012, both in kinesiology and physical education.

“All of us are saddened to learn of the death of Dominic Cusano,” said UMaine Coach Jack Cosgrove in an online statement. “Our prayers go out to his father David, mother Zoraida and brothers David, a member of our 2001-02 Atlantic 10 championship team, and Pasquale.

“We all have a special memory of Dom. Under-recruited because he was undersized, Dom played bigger than he was. His achievements as a student-athlete were exemplary.”

Cusano’s brother, Dave, was a first-team All-Atlantic 10 player for the Black Bears who graduated in 2003. He’s a track coach at Wheaton (Mass.). College
