Andres Campbell Sandoval had an up-and-down first season at Dayton after transferring from Santa Fe Community college in Gainesville, Florida. He began the year on a downer, breaking a bone in his foot that required a titanium screw to be placed in it. He was expected to be out 4-6 weeks, but apparently didn't get the memo. He was back on the court exactly 19 days after the surgery to place the screw in the foot.

He bounced back in league action later in the year with performances like a career-high 21 points (previous UD high was nine, and Richmond high was 15) and adding six assists and six rebounds in the win over George Washington. He was big in the Saint Louis win, coming off the bench to score 14 points and grab six rebounds. At Rhode Island, he scored nine points, had five rebounds and four assists off the bench. At Duquesne, he scored seven points (4-4 FT) and tied his college career high with seven assists. He had ten points in the Xavier game in Dayton.

For the year, he was third on the team in assists (2.3) and averaged 5.9 points and 2.8 rebounds.

He will begin the 2007-08 season with another "downer," although this one is a positive one. He has dropped 30 pounds in the off-season, and is listed at 6-4, 198 heading into his final college campaign.

Sandoval transferred to UD from Santa Fe Community College last season, averaging 5.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists (third on the team).

He began his college career as a freshman three seasons ago at Atlantic 10 rival Richmond, and left there when Jerry Wainwright went from Richmond to DePaul. But since he had already used his redshirt season during 2003-04 for medical reasons, Sandoval transferred to Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, Florida. He will use his remaining two years of eligibility at Dayton.

At Santa Fe, he played and started in 18 games, averaging 15.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals.

As a freshman at Richmond, he averaged 6.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 22 games (19 starts). His 37 steals led the Spiders and was sixth in the A-10. Over the last five games of the year, he had three double-digit performances and averaged 10.2 points, 2.6 assists and 4.0 rebounds in that closing run.

High School:He was a three-time All-Massachusetts selection in high school, averaging 27 points a game in two seasons at Marlboro High School, before switching to the Winchendon School, which plays in the highly competitive New England Prep School Athletic Conference. At Winchendon, Sandoval averaged 12.2 points, 5.2 assists and 3.1 rebounds as a senior.
