(Walpole, MA) -- Walpole Express Assistant Captain Cody Armstrong has committed to Tufts University for the fall of 2010. Tufts is a member of New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) NCAA Division III. Armstrong received word of his acceptance last week after going through early admissions process at the urging of the Tufts coaching staff.

This season, Cody is off to a strong start averaging a point per game with 12 goals and 13 assists in 25 games. “Tony (Dalessio) and I are extremely excited for Cody," said Coach Mark Kumpel. "He has worked tremendously hard for us the past year-and-a-half and is very deserving of the opportunity to study at one of the finest Universities in the country while also continuing his hockey career in the very strong NESCAC league.”

“I would like to thank both Coach Kumpel and Coach Dalessio for helping me advance my game and reach my goal of playing college hockey at a great school," Armstrong said. "I’m excited this process is behind me and I am looking forward to a strong second half and post season.”
