A quiet leader who led by example, Masse captained the Lowell State baseball team for its first four seasons (1954-57) while earning four letters as a shortstop.  He is considered by his former coach and former ULowell Athletic Director, Jim Ciszek, to be one of the finest athletes Ciszek ever coached.

The third all-time leading hitter in LSC history, Masse batted .385 during his four seasons including a seasonal high of .588 in 1954.  At one point during his illustrious career, he as seven straight base hits.  During the 1957 seasons, he led the Indians to a perfect 10-0 record.

A solid support of UMass Lowell athletics to this day, Masse also was a two-year letterman on the LSC basketball team.
