Warriors rake in
academic awards
Ten of Lycoming College’s 17 ath-
letic teams picked up awards for their
performance in the classroom during
the 2013-14 academic year, marking the
highest amount in the athletic depart-
ment’s history. The department also
reached a significant milestone in the
spring semester, as the college’s nearly
400 athletes posted a cumulative GPA of
3.01, the highest since the department
began to track the information.
“We are incredibly proud of the type
of student-athletes that we continue to
recruit and attract at Lycoming College,”
director of athletics Mike Clark ’93 said.
“For more than half our athletic teams to
earn team academic awards and to post
a cumulative department GPA above 3.0
are significant achievements and ones we
will strive to continue to improve upon.”
The men’s and women’s soccer
teams kicked off the recognition,
as both earned the National Soccer
Coaches Association of America Team
Academic Award. Both programs posted
cumulative GPAs above 3.00 during the
2012-13 academic year.
The men’s and women’s cross country
team earned All-Academic Team honors
from the United States Track & Field and
Cross Country Coaches Association,
as both teams earned the award for the
first time in school history. Both teams
maintained a cumulative GPA of better
than 3.10 in 2012-13 to earn the award.
The men’s and women’s swim teams
followed with outstanding spring
semesters, as each earned Scholar
All-American Team honors from
the Collegiate Swimming Coaches
Association of America, as both teams
posted cumulative GPAs of 3.0 or better
in the spring.
The men’s and women’s tennis teams
continued a long tradition of earning
the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s
All-Academic Team award, with the
men winning it for the fourth time and
women earning it for the seventh, as
both teams posted a cumulative GPA of
better than 3.20 in the 2013-14 academic
year.
The volleyball squad earned
the American Volleyball Coaches’
Association Team Academic Award
for the second time in school history
after posting a team GPA of better than
3.30 in 2013-14. Softball also picked up
All-Academic Team accolades from the
National Fastpitch Coaches Association
after notching a GPA above 3.0 in 2013-14.
Seven inducted into athletics
hall of fame
The Lycoming College athletic
department welcomed the 29th
induction class into its hall of fame as
part of Alumni Weekend on Saturday,
May 17. The class featured Lindsey
Artz ‘07 (volleyball), Amy Bauman ‘93
(women’s basketball/softball), Geoff
Boblick ‘98 (men’s basketball), Dan
Cannon ‘08 (men’s lacrosse), Scott
Condello ‘01 (men’s cross country/track
and field), Bekah (Shipe) Brigano ‘09
(women’s soccer) and Steve Weigle ‘77
(football).
In her four years with the Warriors,
Artz earned three all-conference awards
and was named the Freedom Conference
Player of the Year as a junior, while also
establishing the school record in career
kills (1,927) and leading the Freedom
Conference in kills twice and blocks
three times.
One of the school’s best two-sport
athletes, Bauman earned four letters in
basketball and three in softball, earning
first team all-conference honors in
each. On the court, Bauman finished
her career with 1,005 points, one of just
nine players in school history to reach
the 1,000-point mark. On the field she
was one of the best offensive players in
program history as her .520 on-base
percentage as a senior is still the school
record, while her .429 batting average
that season is fifth in school history.
From his first year, when he averaged
16.1 points and was named the Freedom
League Rookie of the Year, Geoff Boblick
laid the foundation to help lift the
men’s basketball team to new heights.
