Division III Player Suspended After Striking Opponent in His Face After Shot Attempt

Video is making the rounds on social media of a Division III player taking a cheap shot at his opponent following a three-point shot attempt in a game played Tuesday.

Kewan Platt of Fitchburg State was taken out of the game after hitting Nate Tengalia of Nichols College with a vicious strike that left Tengalia on the ground after he connected on his shot.

Platt, who was named the MASCAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Tuesday, was charged with a technical foul for the incident, and ejected from the game following the hit.
