The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the nation. founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its bicenten-nial in 2002. but West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with french engineers originally placed in charge of the design. in 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defen-sive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications. in 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation estab-lishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated Amer-ica’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. early graduates were largely responsible for the construc-tion of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experi-ence. it is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. in World War i, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War ii would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include eisenhower, MacArthur, bradley and Patton. in more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space explora-tion, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. it accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy. intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. in ad-dition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of cre-ativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential charac-teristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. each cadet participates at the inter-collegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress. Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet basic Training, or beast barracks, their first

year, followed the second summer by Cadet field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the first- and second-year cadets. The Cadet leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the first day. integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an ar-ray of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and big brothers-big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special olym-pics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small acad-emy legislated into being by Congress in 1802. originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The first graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new officers an-nually, both men and women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is developing leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st cen-tury.

The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished reputation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of graduates includes some of our na-tion’s most famous and influential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army officer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience. Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis. They also serve as ideal role models, showing cadets what Army life is like. The U.S. Military Academy’s primary strength is its ability to develop leaders of character who are com-mitted to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfless service to our nation.

RobeRT e. lee ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.

UlySSeS S. GRAnT ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Com-manding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877.

Director oF athletics

Boo corrigan

Boo Corrigan was named the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. “We have an opportunity to work every day with a truly exceptional group of young people,” Corrigan said. “The opportunities they receive through intercol-legiate athletics will help shape their own leadership styles as they become officers in the U.S. Army. We have a great team that focuses daily on our cadet-ath-letes. We strive to enhance their overall experience as they develop into the leaders our nation needs.” In his short time as athletic director, Corrigan has strengthened and expanded Army Athletics’ relation-ships in several key areas. In his tenure, Army has secured a new apparel agreement with Nike, a new pouring rights contract with Coke and bringing in the Aspire Group to enhance ticket sales and better serve Army season ticket holders. Corrigan also crafted the Team Army concept, a comprehensive plan designed to add significant value to Army’s corporate sponsor-ships while maintaining the tradition of West Point Athletics. Corrigan, who has a proven record as a fundraiser, spearheaded changes in the Army A Club and ticket operations that have resulted in more than $20 mil-lion dollars in major gifts and record-setting annual giving during his tenure. During that time the funding for a new lacrosse facility, that is scheduled to break ground, was secured. In addition to his role in enhancing reve nues for Army Athletics, Corrigan led a strategic planning pro-cess that developed a new mission statement and goals for the department. In his first full three years at West Point, Corrigan has overseen a program that owns 11 Patriot League regular season or tournament championships and sent eight teams to the NCAA postseason (rifle). Thir-ty-three cadets have earned a major award from their conference,. Last season, Corrigan led Army Athletics to its first star series victory since 1996, going 12-11 in star se-ries competitions against Navy. It was the 12th vic-tory in the series for the Academy. West Point went 18-13 overall against the Mids during the year and has a 34-29-1 mark versus Navy in the last two seasons. Army finished a very successful campaign in 2013-14 with an overall record of 235-173-7 for a .575 winning percentage In 2013-14, the Black Knights brought home league titles in men’s tennis, baseball and women’s basket-ball. Army won regular season titles in men’s tennis and baseball, while the women’s hoops squad won the

league tournament and was a 13th seed in the NCAA Tournament. Ten of Army’s squads participated in Pa-triot League postseason, while rifle earned an NCAA berth for the 11th-straight season. In 2012-13 alone, Army accounted for more than 100 all-league citations. Hockey’s Cheyne Rocha and lacrosse’s Brendan Buckley each captured the Senior CLASS Award in their respective sports, making Army the only school in the nation to have multiple winners in 2012-13. The 2012-13 season was one of the most success-ful in recent memory on the fields of friendly strife. Army teams combined to post an overall record of 236-183-8. The program’s .562 winning percentage was the highest in eight years. The winter sports programs had their best season in five years as the women’s basketball team won the Patriot League regular season title, the men’s basketball team post-ed its first winning season in 28 years and the rifle squad advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 10th consecutive season. It was also a great year in the competition against fellow service academies. Army split the season series versus Navy, 16-16-1, marking the best winning percentage against the Mids (.500) since 2004-05. The Black Knights owned a 4-2-1 record against Air Force, improving the record to 20-18-2 (.525) versus service academy foes in 2012-13. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the class-room under Corrigan’s watch. In his two full years, Army has boasted seven Academic All-Americans, including six first-team selections. Lacrosse’s Bren-dan Buckely became the first Army athlete to capture Academic All-American of the Year honors in 2012. In 2011, the Black Knights’ football team boasted two first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, a first for the program since 1957. Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Army boasts six Patriot League Scholar-Ath-letes of the Year, including Buckley, a two-time overall men’s winner. Twenty of Army’s 24 NCAA programs scored above the national average in the 2013 NCAA APR report. The men’s cross country and wrestling teams earned public recognition for finishing in the top 10 percent of their respective sport. The cross country squad boasted a perfect score of 1,000. In addition, former football standout Andrew Ro-driguez, Class of 2012, became the first Army player to win the National Football Foundation’s Willam V. Campbell Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation’s top football scholar-athlete. Rodriguez later was honored with the Amateur Athletic Union’s James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the country. He was the first Army player to receive the award since 1946 and was just the third player in history (Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow) to win both the Campbell Trophy and Sullivan Award. Army has been the focus of national attention since Corrigan’s arrival. He was instrumental in supporting the CBS documentary, “Game of Honor,” that chroni-cled the Black Knights’ 2011 football season leading up to its annual showdown with arch-rival Navy. Not only was the two-hour program broadcast to a na-tional audience on Showtime, but also won the Emmy Award for Best Sports Documentary. The Army foot-ball team was also the focus of a behind-the-scenes book titled, “Soldiers First,” written by New York Times writer Joe Drape. Corrigan has also made his mark on the aesthet-ics of historic Michie Stadium. In order to upgrade the appearance and provide a better experience for

Army fans, Corrigan implemented a Michie Stadium branding and signage campaign that began in 2011. The first phase of the project was completed prior to the 2012 season. In addition to his duties at West Point, Corrigan has been an active leader in the Patriot League, serving as chairman of the conference’s Broadband Committee. Corrigan, who was the senior associate athletic di-rector for external affairs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his post. He is a proven administrator with 18 previous years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff management and leadership. Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partner-ships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan was responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP. A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse pro-grams, Corrigan was a part of three NCAA Champion-ships at Duke in just two seasons. He is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules committee and the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Committee, while serving on the Executive Budget Committee at Duke. Prior to arriving at Duke in August of 2008, he over-saw Notre Dame’s corporate relations and marketing as an associate athletic director for five years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its official athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and mar-keting standpoint. Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the market-ing department from a deficit to profit in his first year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations. His collegiate experience also includes a stint as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95. Corrigan is a 1990 University of Notre Dame graduate with a degree in economics. He is married to the for-mer Kristen Aceto, a former field hockey and lacrosse player at the University of Virginia who also earned a master’s degree from the school. The couple has three children, Finley, Tre and Brian. He is the young-est of seven children of Gene and Lena Corrigan.


head coach mickey Wender

summer 423 athletes experience the Army West Point Swim camp.

Wender is very proud of the fact that many of his assistants have gone on to become head coaches at a variety of NCAA institu-tions. In just the past three years, three of his assistants have gone onto head coach-ing jobs, including Eric Bugby who is back at West Point after a season in charge at Il-linois Tech.

OLYMPICSWhile Michael Phelps and the rest of the world were making swimming history in Bei-jing at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, Army head coach Mickey Wender was there making his own mark. Appointed head coach of the American Samoa swimming contingent for the games, he and rising Black Knight junior Stewart Glenister, whose parents are native to the small island in the South Pacific, made the trip to the Far East to compete against the best athletes in the world on the grandest stage the sport has to offer.

Under Wender’s watchful eye, Glenister swam to first place in his heat of the 50-meter freestyle, while setting an American Samoan national record in the process. Wender was also able to soak up as much of the Olympic experience as he could to bring back to the West Point pool deck at Crandall Pool.

PREVIOUSLYThe Setauket, N.Y., native restored the Washington program to national promi-nence during his tenure with the Huskies while competing in the Pacific-10 confer-ence. His women’s program appeared in the national rankings in 2003 and 2005, and the men’s squad earned national recognition from 2000 to 2005. He authored an impressive dual meet re-cord of 154-58.

Twelve Husky swimmers earned All-America recogni-tion and 28 qualified for the NCAA Championships during his tenure. Impressively, Wender sent a representa-tive to the championships for every swimming event during his successful run in Seattle. His swimmers broke school records in 32 differ-ent events on multiple occa-sions.

ARMYThe ninth head coach in the 93-year history of the men’s program and the sixth women’s coach in the program’s 36-year history, Mickey Wender enters his ninth season at the helm of Army’s swimming and diving programs, authoring a record of 123-95-1 at West Point.

During his time on the banks of the Hudson, Wender has not only led both the men’s and women’s teams to top finishes at the Patriot League Championships, but has also coached 64 cadet-athletes to Patriot League Honors.

Wender’s record with the Black Knights pushed his career record to 330-153-1 over 22 seasons, a .682 winning percentage. He has led a successful men’s program to 79-27 and the women’s program to 44-68-1.

Throughout his tenure at West Point, Wender has garnered Patriot League Men’s Coach of the Year honors in 2007, his first year with the program, and more recently in 2013. He has coached 22 women and 42 men to All-Patriot League honors, 24 first team and 40 second team selections. Other accomplish-ments include two Patriot League Champi-onship Swimmer of the Meet honorees, five Diver of the Meet selections and one CoSIDA Academic All-American.

Under Wender’s guidance the women’s team has finished fourth in the last three Patriot League Championships, while the men’s team has achieved second and third place finishes throughout his career with the Black Knights.

Aside from his normal coaching duties, Wender runs a highly successful swim camp program at the Academy that teaches swim-ming technique as well as the skills neces-sary to be successful in all areas of life. Last

During the 2003-04 campaign, his men’s team finished 25th at nationals on the strength of five NCAA qualifiers, including Phil Davis, a Pac-10 Champion and confer-ence record holder in the 200 breaststroke. It was the men’s team’s highest finish at the NCAA Championships in more than 30 years.

The women’s team sent four swimmers to the 2003 NCAA Championships and placed 19th for the highest national finish since swimming became an NCAA sponsored sport in 1982. Kim Harada, who coached with Wender for three years at Washington and two years at Army, recorded two fourth-place finishes in the 50 and 100 freestyle events to earn All-America honors. She also earned honorable mention honors in the 200 freestyle relay along with teammates Annette Vayo, Melody Staubitz and Sharon Olson.

Wender’s swimmers not only achieved suc-cess in the pool, but were just as impres-sive in the classroom. Ten Huskies were named to the Pac-10 All-Academic squad during the 2001-02 season, including David Moilanen who was a first team Academic All-American, a Rhodes Scholar finalist and the school record holder in the 100 backstroke. Wender’s swimmers were honored with postseason awards at the conference and national level for four consecutive years. Five men and seven women were named to the Pac-10 All-Academic team in 2005. His teams also garnered awards for community service, academics and school spirit.

He previously spent three years along the banks of the Hudson from 2010-2013, serving as the Black Knights’ assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.

“The Army Swimming and Diving program is delighted to welcome Coach Bugby back to West Point,” said Army head coach Mickey Wender. “Eric has been a trusted and valued member of our family since 2010 and has made a multitude of invaluable contributions to the development of our team. We are all excited to have him back and he has picked up right where he left off a year ago.

“His experience as a head coach has given him a unique perspective on what it takes to move a program to the next level.” Wender added. “Eric will continue to work primarily with our sprinters, while serving as co-recruiting coordinator, and assuming a wide-variety of additional responsibilities.”

During his one season guiding Illinois Institute of Technology, the women’s team doubled in size due to increased recruiting efforts. Bugby placed four student-athletes on the Liberal Arts Championship All-Conference Team, coached five swimmers to LAC Swimmer of the Week awards and led the women’s program to its first dual-meet victory in two years. He also coordinated all of the program’s social media, alumni outreach and fund raising efforts.

In addition, he coached Molly Mucciarone to an Academy-record and first place finish in the 50-yard freestyle at the Patriot League Championships. Mucciarone also set an Academy record in the 100-yard fly, while breaking plebe records in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 fly. Bugby also coached the women’s 200 freestyle relay to the program’s first women’s Patriot League relay victory since 2001 and did so in an Academy record time.

Thanks to some renovations over the years, Army’s Crandall Pool is still considered one of the top venues on the East Coast. Since its completion in 1970, the pool has been the site of state, regional and national events, most notably the 1972 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships and the 1971 National AAU Indoor Diving Championships.

Also among the best is the diving facility, which includes two one-meter and two three-meter springboards, as well as 6.5 and 10-meter platforms. They are located in a separate diving area, per-mitting simultaneous swimming and diving training. The diving facilities also include a dry board and a trampoline for dryland dive training. The electronic timing system can also calculate divers’ scores based on the judges’ scores and degree of difficulty.

In 1995-96, the facility received a $10-million facelift. Included in the modifications were new men’s and women’s locker rooms, renovated storage and office areas, and a new heating and filtration system in the pool.

The 1972 Men’s and 1976 Women’s Olympic teams selected West Point as the official training site before departing for Munich and Montreal, respectively. Army has served as host for both the Eastern Seaboard Swimming and Diving Championships and the Patriot League Championships. Most recently, the 2000 Patriot League Championships and the 2001 EISL Championships were held at West Point. Crandall Pool has also played host to other special events. Of recent note was the German National Swimming Team’s visit to West Point for training prior to the 1998 Goodwill Games on Long Island, N.Y.

Crandall Pool was named in memory of Robert W. Crandall, USMA ’39, the captain of the 1938-39 Army swimming team who was killed in battle in Italy in World War II. Suitable for long- and short-course training, the pool is a six-lane, 50-meter course which can be divided by a submergible bulkhead into an eight-lane, 25-yard competition pool and a six-lane practice pool. The overall depth is not less than eight-feet, making for a very fast pool.

The facility has a seating capacity of 1,210 and has an excellent view of the finish and scoreboard. There is also a fully electronic timing and judging system.

Army Diving strives to have each cadet-athlete fulfill his or her potential and reach the pinnacle of the Division I level through rigorous training and the utilization of a top-notch facility at Crandall Pool. Divers at USMA make use of two one- and three-meter springboards, a 6.5-meter platform, a 10-meter platform, dryboard, trampoline, spotting belts and TiVo.

The daily schedule of an Army diver is a productive one, with six days of training each week. Nonetheless, the demands of the classroom at West Point are still met and surpassed by everyone who is a part of the program. Army diving trains every day during the week as well as Saturday, with Sundays off.

During the course of the whole year, the Army diving team will use all the tools in its possession in order to peak for Navy and for Patriots. As with all cadets at West Point, the diving team works hard each and every day and strives to meet every challenge they face, both on the boards and in the classroom. Army divers are an indispensable part of the Army swimming and diving program. Interaction and reliance on the swimmers as teammates is an important part of the life of any Army diver. Together, swimmers and divers share the same daily challenges, make the same sacrifices, and have the same ultimate goal – win championships and BEAT NAVY!

Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 24 men and women’s sports.

Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Boston University, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Loyola and Navy as full members, and Fordham, Georgetown, MIT and Richmond as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country.

Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League also had more than 93 percent of its teams score above the national APR average in the most recent data, and 92 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.

The Patriot League’s mission is simple: to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society. During the 2013-14 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams have accomplished the following:

*The Patriot League ranked second among all conferences in multi-year APR rating, and led all leagues in men’s basketball APR.

*81 Patriot League teams recorded perfect graduation success rates and 92 earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for ranking in the top 10 percent of their sport in APR.

*More than 93 percent of Patriot League teams scored above the national average in APR.

*Patriot League teams won NCAA Tournament games in seven different sports, with American winning twice to advance to the Round of 16 in volleyball.

*League squads also won NCAA first-round or regional contests in football (Fordham), men’s soccer (Navy), women’s soccer (Boston University), women’s lacrosse (Loyola), softball (Boston University) and baseball (Bucknell).

*Navy won the overall Patriot League Presidents’ Cup for the second time in three years, while Army took first place on the men’s side and Boston University claimed the women’s title in its inaugural season.

*Fifteen student-athletes earned Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition, including first-team accolades for Fordham’s Brett Biestek (Football), Bucknell’s Joe Meyer (Men’s Soccer) and Navy’s Elizabeth Hoerner (Women’s Soccer).

*Thirty-five student-athletes received Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District recognition.

*There were 2,450 student-athletes on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2013-14, including 128 with a semester GPA of at least 4.0.

*American women’s basketball standout Alexis Dobbs and Navy women’s soccer star Elizabeth Hoerner and women’s rowing student-athlete Katherine Ashton each earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Dobbs and Hoerner were later named the Patriot League’s nominees for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

*Fordham’s Brett Biestek earned a Postgraduate Scholarship from the FCS Athletic Directors Association.

*Loyola’s Joe Fletcher (Men’s Lacrosse) and Boston University’s Allison Barwise (Track and Field) were named the Patriot League Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year recipients, respectively.

*The Patriot League Sportsmanship Awards went to a pair of basketball student-athletes in American’s Darius Gardner on the men’s side and Army’s Krishawn Tillett for the women.

*Lafayette’s Alec Golini (Men’s Soccer) and Lehigh’s Brooke Astor (Women’s Track and Field) earned the Patriot League Outstanding Leadership and Character Awards for their excellence in leadership and service.

*Four Patriot Leaguers were named Senior CLASS Award finalists, including three in men’s lacrosse.

*Loyola’s Joe Fletcher was one of five finalists for the Tewaaraton Award given to the top player in men’s lacrosse, and also earned the William C. Schmeisser Outstanding Defensive Player Award from the USILA.

*Fordham’s Mike Nebrich placed fifth in the voting for the Walter Payton Award as the top FCS player.

*Twenty-four Patriot Leaguers were named first, second or third-team All-Americans in team sports, including six in football, five in men’s lacrosse, four in women’s lacrosse and three in men’s soccer.

*Loyola spent the majority of the season as the No. 1-ranked team in the men’s lacrosse national polls.

*Fordham football and Loyola men and women’s lacrosse each finished in the top 10 of national polls, while Navy men’s soccer and American volleyball and field hockey each placed in the top 25 of their sport’s final national rankings.

*Navy’s Jay Stell placed third in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, matching the best-ever finish for a Patriot League male and earning first-team All-America honors.

*Boston University’s Allison Barwise, Rich Peters and Rosa Moriello also competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and earned All-America recognition, with Barwise receiving first-team status by placing sixth in the high jump for the best NCAA finish by a Patriot League female since 1993.

*Peters and his BU teammate, Monica Adler, both recorded top-10 finishes in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships to earn All-America recognition.

*Navy’s Tom Duvall came in the top 10 in the 500 freestyle at the NCAA Men’s Swimming Championship to earn All-America honors, and was one of four Patriot Leaguers to compete in an individual event at either the NCAA Men or Women’s Championship.
