This versatile 6-8, 220-pound forward was ranked sixth all-time on the Seahawk scoring list at the time of his graduation with 1,549 career points, a figure which currently ranks ninth.

His 113 games played is 12th all-time and, as a testament to his durability and toughness, he was in the starting lineup for all 113 of those contests. In 1991-92, he was named to the Northeast Conference (NEC) All-Newcomer Team and then, as a senior in 1994-95, was named to the All-NEC Second-Team as well as earning team MVP honors. His leadership and prowess helped Wagner to winning seasons in three of his four years, highlighted by an 18-12 mark in his sophomore season of 1992-93. An outstanding student, he was the 1994-95 NEC Senior Scholar Athlete of the Year, as well as the NEC Men’s Basketball Scholar Athlete of the Year in 1993-94 and 1994-95. Rikic is employed as the Director of Technology for OneWire. He and his wife Amy reside on Staten Island and are the proud parents of Katrina and Aidan.
