The cornerstone of the Westbrook College men’s basketball program, Peterson scored 2,550 points during his brilliant four-year career – a figure that places him second in school history and fourth all-time in Maine collegiate basketball. He also is the program’s career leader in rebounds with 1,586.

At two-time NAIA All-American, Peterson was the Mayflower Conference Player of the Year in 1993 and 1994. He shot better than 64 percent from the floor for his career and scored in double digits in every game. Perhaps the crowning achievement of Peterson’s career was leading Westbrook College to its first-ever national tournament appearance in 1994.
