The Patriot League, which was founded on the principles of admitting athletes who are academical-ly representative of their class, is in its third decade of academic and athletic achievement. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded educa-tion. The Patriot League began as a successful Divi-sion I-AA (now called Football Championship Sub-division) football conference in 1986. Full League members include American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy. Associate members include Fordham and Georgetown in foot-ball and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in women’s rowing. These member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League col-leges and universities have played a leadership role in the shaping of our country. In the classroom, the Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. 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 finished at the top spot with nearly all of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 82 teams from Patriot League full-member institutions 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. League members have also distinguished themselves on the field of play. The Patriot League sponsors championship competition in 23 sports (11 for men; 12 for women). Championship teams from 14 sports are guaranteed advancement into NCAA postseason competition: baseball, men and women’s basketball, field hockey, football, men’s golf, men and women’s lacrosse, men and women’s soccer, softball, men and women’s tennis and volleyball. Along the timeline of Patriot League history about three-quarters of the Patriot League’s Scholar-Athletes of the Year also received All-Patriot League status for their exemplary athletic performance. In the Patriot League’s history, more than 200 student-athletes have been recognized as CoSIDA Academic All-Ameri-cans, while tens of thousands have qualified for the League’s Academic Honor Roll. More than 30 student-athletes have re-ceived NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Additionally, Patriot League student-athletes have earned Fulbright Scholarships, Rhodes Scholarships, Marshall Scholarships and NACDA/Disney Scholarships.

During the 2010-11 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams have accomplished the following:

• Patriot League schools came in with glowing marks in the latest release of the NCAA Academic Progress Rate, as 97 percent of Pa-triot League teams came in at or above the national Division I four-year average score of 970.

• Bucknell claimed the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup for the 17th time overall and sixth consecutive season. The Bison also won their eighth male trophy and 17th female award, sweeping the honors for the second straight year and seventh time overall.

• The Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year were Colgate junior Elise DeRoo (Female Scholar-Athlete) and Navy senior Nick Birger (Male Scholar-Athlete). For both, it is their first Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, and DeRoo will have the chance to become the fourth multiple winner on the women’s side next year.

• Army’s Erin Anthony concluded an outstanding ca-reer with First-Team Academic All-America recognition for the second year in a row and a nomination from the Patriot League for the NCAA Woman of the Year award.

Academic and Athletic Success

West Point graduate Erin Anthony will go down as one of the most decorated Army women’s basketball players in re-cent memory. An impact player both on and off the court over all four seasons at West Point, Anthony is a two-time first team Aca-demic All-American, three-time Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year, four-time All-Patriot League performer and was one of 10 national Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award finalists. During her stay at West Point, she led Army in rebounding during all four years and scoring twice. She led the Patriot League in rebounding three times and scoring twice. Anthony garnered 12 Ana-conda Patriot League Player of the Week citations during her career, which is more than any other Army women’s basketball player and one shy of tying the Patriot League record. Anthony was the only player in the Pa-triot League to average a double-double during both her junior and senior sea-sons. She averaged 14.4 points per game and 10.9 rebounds per game in 2010-11. She also led the League with 3.0 blocks per game. She finished the season ranked 11th in the nation in blocked shots and 16th in rebounding. The Allentown, Pa., native, start-ed all 29 games, totaled 13 double-doubles and led Army in scoring 21 times and rebounding in 23 games. She scored at least 20 points six times. Anthony broke Army’s career blocked shots record (222) in her final season. The previous career mark, held by Army Hall of Famer Pam Pearson, had stood since 1984-85. Anthony finished her career ranked second on Army’s all-time rebounding list (1,036) and fourth in scoring (1,429). She is one of just two players in women’s basketball history to eclipse the 1,000-point and 1,000-rebound marks. A civil engineering major and two-year team captain, Anthony will go down as one of the most well-rounded players to ever don a West Point uniform. Her performance inside the classroom shined and resulted in a 21st final ranking in a graduating class of 1,089 graduat-ing cadets and a final grade-point average of 3.82. Anthony was a Rhodes Scholarship and National Science Foundation Fellowship finalist and recently won the Society of American Military Engineers David M. Fraser Award for Engineering Excellence and Leadership during the U.S. Military Academy Engineer’s Dinner in late March.

Rackley selected in third round of 2011 NFL Draft Lehigh offensive lineman Will Rackley, an All-American, became the highest NFL Draft selection out of the Patriot League when he was picked by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third round with the 76th overall pick on April 29. Rackley became the first Lehigh player selected in the draft since Rich Owens was picked by the Washington Redskins in 1995 in the fifth round with the 152nd overall pick, which stood as the top spot for a Patriot League player before Rack-ley. Patriot League players have been selected in consecutive drafts for the first time since the League had players taken in three straight years from 1987-89. Fordham quarterback John Skelton was taken in the fifth round by the Arizona Car-dinals in 2010. Rackley is the eighth all-time NFL Draft pick from the Patriot League. “I got really anxious seeing all the guys going in front of me,” Rackley said. “It was a long couple of hours. Then I got the phone call and saw it was an NFL team. I couldn’t wait to see what team it was, and it was exciting to find out it was Jacksonville and to finally talk to all the coaches and staff. “It all came together nicely, but my goals aren’t done yet. It’s a big deal for a guy like me from a small school to be selected in the third round.” Rackley was a three-time All-Patriot League selection for the Mountain Hawks. He started the last 40 games of his career, primarily at left tackle. He captained Lehigh to its ninth Pa-triot League Championship in 2010 and was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game. Most NFL scouts project Rackley, who hails from Riverdale, Ga., as a guard in the professional ranks. The Jaguars traded up four spots with the San Francisco 49ers to select Rackley with the 12th pick in the third round. With his selection, Rackley becomes the eighth Lehigh football player to be selected since the modern draft began in 1967. He was just seven spots from being the school’s all-time highest draft pick, as quarterback Kim McQuilken went with the 69th overall pick in the third round to the Atlanta Falcons in 1973. “Everyone associated with the Lehigh Football family is thrilled for Will,” Lehigh head coach Andy Coen said. “He has worked incredibly hard to get to this point and I have no doubt he will be successful in the NFL. Will was a special player at Lehigh and has always represented the university and the Patriot League in a first class manner. It was a privilege to have Will in our program.”

Bucknell won at least one championship in each season, and wrapped up its year with an impressive spring that included four Patriot League titles. After being crowned men’s soccer and men’s basketball champion earlier in the year, Bucknell won the men’s lacrosse, rowing and both men and women’s outdoor track and field championships in the spring. Navy won the Patriot League championship in seven of the 20 sports in which it participates. The Mids took the men’s cross country championship in the fall, won the title in wom-en’s basketball, men’s swimming and diving and both men and women’s indoor track and field in the winter, then captured the crowns in women’s lacrosse and baseball in the spring. Lehigh and Army each won three championships to aid their high finish in the Presidents’ Cup standings. Patriot League Presidents’ Cup points are awarded based on a team’s performance in the regular season and postsea-son Patriot League standings across the League’s 23 Division I sports. In cross country, football, golf, rowing, swimming and diving and track and field, the points are awarded on the final team standings. In team sports with postseason tournaments, points are awarded based on a combination of a team’s finish at the Patriot League Championship and the regular-season standings.

Bucknell wins sixth straight, 17th overall Presidents’ Cup

Presidents’ Cup Standings

Following another strong season across the board, Bucknell claimed its sixth consecutive and 17th overall Pa-triot League Presidents’ Cup. The Bison also won their eighth male trophy and 17th female award, sweeping the honors for the second straight year and seventh time overall. Bucknell had a banner year that in-cluded six Patriot League titles, and the Bison accumulated 118.5 points to take the overall Presidents’ Cup. That was just enough to hold off Navy, which led all schools with seven Patriot League championships and came in second place in the Presidents’ Cup standings with 111.75 overall points. It was the narrow-est margin between the first and second-place finisher since the 1999-00 season. Lehigh (101), Army (99) and Colgate (94) all posted strong years, and were followed in order by American (68.5), La-fayette (60) and Holy Cross (55.5).

American senior Magdalena Tekiel was one of the League’s premier players all season, and she was recognized as such when the coaches unanimously voted her as Player of the Year when the League’s awards were announced after the regular season. Three teammates joined her on the All-Patriot League team, including League Tournament MVP and fellow senior Angelina Waterman. Tekiel fin-ished with 396 kills in 103 games, posting a .339 hitting percentage. She also was second in the League in service aces with 38.

Women’s VolleyballAmerican dominates, takes ninth title • Title Highlights: American has been a powerhouse in the Patriot League volleyball standings since joining in 2001, and 2010 was no different. After running the table against League teams during the regular season for the sixth time, the Eagles powered through Bucknell and Colgate en route to their ninth crown in 10 years. American advanced to the NCAA Tournament where it provided a monumental chal-lenge to UCLA. The Eagles twice led the Bruins by a set be-fore UCLA rallied to win a five-set thriller. The loss snapped American’s League-record 23-match win streak. • American’s Standout Performances: Angelina Water-man placed second in the League with 369 kills (2.93 hitting pct.). ... Katerina Cinkova posted 101 blocks, 136 kills and a .290 hitting percentage. ... Krysta Cicala totaled 759 as-sists in 78 sets for a League second-best average of 9.73. ... Deborah Frantz led the Eagles with 372 digs, ranked sixth in the League.

Major awards • Player of the Year: Magdalena Tekiel, American • Defensive Player of the Year: Brittany Jensen, Army • Setter of the Year: Karyn Powell, Army • Rookie of the Year: Megan Wilton, Army • Scholar-Athlete of the Year: Cassandra Ricketts, American Excellence on and off the courtAmerican’s dominance extended to the classroom as well, with senior Cassandra Ricketts being named Scholar-Athlete of the Year in volleyball. She led all players with a .385 hitting percentage during League play, helping the Eagles to their perfect 14-0 record. She proved just as for-midable academically as well, posting a 3.935 cumulative grade-point average majoring in biochemistry with a minor in psychology. Ricketts was one of two student-athletes to earn both All-Patriot League and Academic All-League hon-ors after the regular season.

Past two champions split major awardsWhile American dominated the League during the regular season and earned the tournament crown, the Eagles had

some competition for the major awards. Barry Goldberg was named Coach of the Year after American ran the table with a perfect 14-0 mark against League opponents, join-ing Magdalena Tekiel (Player of the Year) and Cassandra Ricketts (Scholar-Athlete of the Year) as major award win-ners. The 2009 League champion Army claimed the other three honors. Senior Karyn Powell was named Setter of the Year, senior Brittany Jensen captured the Defensive Player of the Year nod and freshman Megan Wilton was named Rookie of the Year.

An All-America honor for WatermanAmerican’s Angelina Waterman played her best ball of the season as the Eagles captured their ninth League title in 10 years and battled UCLA in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Her late-season performances garnered na-tional attention, as she was named an Honorable Mention All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Associa-tion. She won All-League accolades from the head coaches at the end of the regular season, but she saved her best performances for the postseason. She was named League Tournament MVP, leading the Eagles to 3-0 wins over Buck-nell and Colgate. She then matched a career best with 22 kills and narrowly missed a double-double with nine digs against UCLA.

Entering the final regular-season weekend of the League schedule, defending champion Bucknell was on the outside of the tournament picture look-ing in. In a wild finish on the last day of the regular season, Lafayette defeated Navy to hop into fourth place for a handful of minutes before the Bison ral-lied with a come-from-behind 2-1 overtime victory at Lehigh to clinch the tournament’s No. 4 seed. Bucknell edged top-seeded Colgate in the semifi-nals and blanked American 2-0 in the title match to repeat as League champion and move on to the NCAA Tournament.

Men’s SoccerMakowski named Scholar-Athlete of the YearAmerican junior GK Matt Makowski was a two-way threat for his team, garnering second-team All-League honors and helping the Eagles reach the League title game for the second straight year. In addition to his on-the-field exploits, Makowski is a stellar student and was honored as the Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The Rookie of the Year in 2008, he became the second American player to garner the top academic award and first since 2001, the Eagles’ first season in the League.

2010 Bucknell Bison

Bison sneak in, repeat as champions

Led by a talented group of seniors and first-year head coach Eric Lambinus, Lehigh captured its first Patriot League title and made its inaugural trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Mountain Hawks, who entered the League Tournament as the third seed, defeated second-seeded Bucknell and No. 1 and host Army by identical 1-0 scores to capture the title. Senior goalkeeper Lauren Mains was named Tournament MVP after posting the back-to-back shutouts. Lehigh acquainted itself well to NCAA action, playing over 60 minutes of scoreless soc-cer before falling 3-0 to Virginia, one of four No. 2 seeds in the 64-team tournament.

Women’s SoccerLostetter anchors ArmySenior GK Alex Lostetter was one of the main reasons Army captured a share of the League’s regular-season title and owned the top seed in the League Tournament. She fin-ished the season with the nation’s second-best save per-centage at .922 and tied her career best with 11 shutouts. She captured the 31st shutout of her career in Army’s 1-0 overtime win over Colgate in the tournament semifinals, which tied the League record. Her 0.25 goals-against aver-age was second in the country and the lowest single-sea-son mark in League annals.

Major awards • Offensive Player of the Year: Christa Matlack, Bucknell • Defensive Player of the Year: Molly McGuigan, Army • Goalkeeper of the Year: Lauren Smedley, Lafayette • Rookie of the Year: Kim An, Army • Scholar-Athlete of the Year: Kiki Koroshetz, Colgate Koroshetz named Scholar-Athlete of the YearColgate senior defender Kiki Koroshetz, a staple of the Raiders’ backline in 2010 that helped shut out five op-ponents during the regular season, was recognized for ex-celling in her academic pursuits when she was named the League’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year. A native of Norwalk, Conn., Koroshetz carried a 3.90 cumulative GPA at Col-gate while majoring in psychology. Koroshetz was a two-year co-captain and helped lead the Raiders to the NCAA Tournament in 2009 while earning ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District honors. She was Colgate’s first Scholar-Athlete of the Year in women’s soccer since Kelly Tyrell in 1999.

Underclassmen propel ArmyThe 2010 regular season was one of the most successful in Army history, and the awards reflected that. Freshman Molly McGuigan was named Defensive Player of the Year, while midfielder and classmate Kim An was awarded the Rookie of the Year honor. Stefanie Golan, in her second year at West Point, was named Coach of the Year. After the season concluded, McGuigan and An were honored again

with spots on the NSCAA/Performance Subaru Mid-Atlan-tic All-Region team, each earning first-team recognition. Of the 33 players to earn all-region distinction, only three were freshmen, and two were McGuigan and An.

Tournament teams remain consistentThe three programs with the most appearances in the Pa-triot League Tournament were at it again in 2010. Colgate qualified for its League-best 18th League playoffs under 20th-year head coach Kathy Brawn, while second-year skipper Stefanie Golan brought Army to the tournament for the 16th time in history. Bucknell earned a bid to the tournament for the sixth time in as many years under the direction of head coach Ben Landis and 15th overall. The one relative newcomer was Lehigh, which qualified for the League playoff for just the fifth time and first since 2006.

Black Knights stifle oppositionArmy led the nation in three defensive categories in 2010 – goals-against average (0.274), shutout percentage (.762) and save percentage (.919). The Black Knights boasted a prominent 1-2 punch in goal, with junior Monica Lee joining senior Alex Lostetter between the posts. Lee is ex-pected to head up a talented pool of players vying for the starting keeper job at West Point in 2011.

There are not many firsts left to achieve in the 21-year history of the Patriot League, but Lehigh junior shortstop Jennifer Colquhoun did just that when she became the first back-to-back Scholar-Athlete of the Year in the sport of softball. Colquhoun had a 3.76 cumulative grade-point average while ma-joring in biochemistry at the time of her award and was named to the inaugural Academic All-League team. She was one of four players to garner both All-League and Academic All-League honors this season.

Lehigh dropped two of three to the Raiders on the road during the regular season, but after defeating Holy Cross 6-4 on the tournament’s first day, Lehigh scored 9-0 and 14-0 victories over Colgate on the second and third days to capture this year’s crown. Lehigh’s 29 runs were two shy of Army’s record of 31 set in 1991, and sophomore catcher Liz Lucas was named to the All-Tournament team after setting marks with three home runs and eight RBIs over the three-day competition. Lehigh sophomore pitcher Rebecca Bliss went 2-0 with one save to earn Tournament MVP honors. • 2011 Standout Performances: Lehigh C Liz Lucas led the League in RBIs with 48, while batting .455 with 10 homers and a League-record 21 doubles. ...

Being named Player of the Year by the League’s head coaches, Ford’s performances improved as the season went on, culminating in a .434 bat-ting average during League play. She finished the year as the team leader in batting average, home runs, hits (58), doubles (12), slugging percentage (.592), on-base percent-age (.488) and stolen bases (10). Ford is the first player in League history to be named Player of the Year from a team that did not qualify for the League Tournament.

Raiders set up for the futureColgate’s run for a fourth Patriot League title came up short, but the Raiders have a young nucleus that appears to have a very bright future. Colgate boasted two major award winners in 2011, including freshman Rachel LeCoq, who was named Pitcher of the Year, and classmate Tera Vaughn, who the coaches voted as the Rookie of the Year. The Raiders captured the League’s regular-season title and the No. 1 seed for the League Tournament with a 16-3 mark under first-year head coach Ashley Obrest.

Best in the nationColgate’s Tera Vaughn posted statistics worthy of being named Rookie of the Year in 2011, and one number stands out as the best in the nation. She finished the season as the toughest batter to strike out in all of NCAA Division I, going down on strikes just three times in 161 at-bats, or an aver-age of once every 53.7 times. Vaughn’s three strikeouts all season were tied for the lowest in Division I. Other Patriot League players ranked highly in NCAA categories, including Lehigh sophomore Liz Lucas, who finished fifth in doubles per game (0.38), and teammate Rebecca Bliss, who tied for 14th in saves (4). Lucas also set the League record for doubles in a single season with 21.

Birger won two years of study at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University focus-ing on international and government affairs. He finished his career as a two-time Scholar-Athlete of the Year and earned Academic All-America honors from CoSIDA.

The Patriot League celebrated its 20th anniversary as an all-sport conference during the 2010-11 academic year. The Colonial League was founded and be-gan full round-robin play in football only in 1986. Three years later, Carl Ull-rich was appointed the first full-time Executive Director and in 1990, the Colonial League changed its name to Patriot League and became an all-sport confer-ence (22 sports). The initial membership included Bucknell University, Colgate University, Fordham University, the College of the Holy Cross, Lafayette College, Lehigh University and the United States Military Academy. In 1991, the United States Naval Academy joined the League as a full member. In 2001, American University joined the ranks of the Patriot League as its eighth full member. Meanwhile, the sport of women’s row-ing became the League’s 23rd sport in 2004.

About the Patriot League

Keira Carlstrom, American (2006)“I would not be the same person today if I was not a

Patriot League student-athlete. The support within the classroom and the experiences gained as an athlete

turned me into the person I am proud of today. It was the combination of student-athlete emphasized in the Patriot League that I learned the skills that I use in my

day-to-day life. Thank you, Patriot League!”

Lt. Col. Kim Kawamoto, Army (1992)“I was fortunate to be in the League in its first two

years and it was such a great, competitive environment. It is an honor to be part of a league with student-ath-letes who continue to boast great achievements both regionally and nationally over the past two decades.”

Anne Tierney, Lehigh (1995)“I’m proud to say that because anyone that knows

the Patriot League knows that they are great schools so to be able to be a student-athlete there

is a great accomplishment.”

Billy Hurley III, Navy (2004)“The Patriot League is one of the premier academic leagues in the country and to have competed in golf

while attending a demanding institution (like all of the Patriot League schools are) makes me value the overall

experience more than some other athletes whose main focus was just their sport.”

17

Dr. Jim Nairus, Holy Cross (1991)“The Patriot League schools, which all stress both academics and athletics, all prepare their student-athletes for life after college. This certainly was true in my case. By instilling in the student-

athletes the benefits of hard work and setting them up for future careers in life outside of athletics, the Patriot League schools do not use the athletes like other more prominent athletic schools

in other conferences.”

Lisa Gibbons King, Bucknell (1995)“Being a Patriot League student-athlete, it meant I

was able to receive the best education, while at the same time, be able to play the sport I love at a very high level. I walked away prepared to continue to play competitive soccer as well as to become suc-

cessful in my current profession.”

Jen Bayer, Lafayette (2003)“I feel that all the schools in the Patriot League placed the cor-

rect emphasis on the student portion of the student-athlete and truly cared about allowing each player to become the best they

could be. I do not think I would be where I am today without the experiences I learned on and off the court.”

Tucker Neale, Colgate (1995)“Being a Patriot League student-athlete, it

meant having done things the right way with the right influences. There is a reason a book was written about our wonderful League, The Last Amateurs. The Patriot League does it the right way and creates a balance that allows

the student-athlete to flourish.”
