Wolfgang Gieler has left Siena College to pursue a professional basketball career in Germany. Gieler was enrolled at the College this summer and had been taking classes and working out with the team before deciding to head home to Germany this week.

"We regret that Wolfgang determined it was in his best interest to leave Siena," head coach Fran McCaffery said. "I was excited about his future at Siena and regret that he did not have the experience we were all hoping for."
