Dan had an outstanding three-year career at Pacific, capped by a 13-4 junior season that helped him earn Big West Conference Pitcher of the Year accolades, along with All-Big West Conference First Team and All-American honors.

He compiled a 26-17 career record as a Tiger, including 355 strikeouts, which is the third best career mark in the Pacific record book. His 169 strikeouts in 1997 remains a Pacific single season record, while his 13 wins in 1997 are the second most in school history.
