Hall of Fame
Rafal Kolankowski was exactly what Point Park needed in order to reverse its winless history. Within his first two years at the university, he not only helped lead the team to its first victory ever, but also helped the program build a credible image. Because of these achievements, Kolankowski was honored by being the first soccer player and foreign born player to be inducted into the Pioneer Athletic Hall of Fame. Being a native of Poland, a country whose national pastime is soccer, it is no surprise that he grew up playing the game. At Point Park he soared, starting every game and serving as team captain for three seasons. Kolankowski’s Point Park career did not end at graduation. He returned as an assistant soccer coach and continued his education, receiving his MBA at the university.
