His emphasis on quality competition led the school to become a member of the NCAA, ECAC and Mass. State College Athletic Conference. Gilmetti's belief in providing first-class facilities for athletes led to his involvement in the design and construction of Alumni Gymnasium and what are now Ellis and Hendy fields, home to the Buccaneers' football, lacrosse, soccer and baseball teams. It was during his tenure that MMA began playing a full Division III schedule in seven varsity sports.
