Despite playing only one year due to a career cut short by injuries suffered in an automobile accident, Masella is among the highest honored men's soccer players in school history. In his one season in 1982 as a goalkeeper, Masella was selected to the NSCAA All-America Team, the NSCAA All-Region Team, the NAIA All-Area Team, and the NAIA All-District 6 Team. He ranks first on the school's all-time single season save percentage list (.896), and is tied for seventh in single season shutouts (6). Following the accident that ended his soccer career, Masella began competing in wheelchair tennis and became nationally ranked and a three-time U.S. Open Champion in doubles.
