CLICK HERE TO SEE COMPLETE HONOR ROLL

The Assumption College Fall Semester Student-Athlete Honor Roll has been released. Two hundred and one student-athletes out of a total 465 on 22 intercollegiate teams have earned a 3.0 grade point average or higher.

In addition 68 student-athletes merited a Director's Citation presented for a grade point average in excess of 3.5, while five earned a perfect 4.0 GPA as Premier Student-Athlete award winners. An amazing 53 first-year student athletes and 27 individual sport captains earned a spot on the list.

Women's basketball, the winningest team on campus at the present time with a 12-3 overall record and winners of eight of its last nine games, also led the way with 13 of its 16 team members (including two student assistants) earning honor roll status. Two members of the team, senior forward/center MEGAN URBAN (Portland, ME/Deering) and sophomore guard LESLIE LUPIEN (Pomfret Center, CT/Woodstock Academy) had a 4.0. Urban is a mathematics major who aspires to a career in secondary education like her parents, while Lupien will major in biology en route to medical school, like her parents both of whom are involved in the medical field.

Dupont had previously posted a 4.0 grade point average for the 2006 spring semester!

"We are very proud of the success of our student-athletes," said Ted Paulauskas, Director of Athletics. "Academic success, community involvement, and a dedication to excellence in the athletics programs are critical to the successful performance of our department's mission. It is also a positive reflection on the College as a whole. It often follows that those who work hard and achieve success in the classroom are also successful as athletes."

Nine teams also posted a 3.00 grade point average led by the women's rowing team with an amazing cumulative average of 3.52. Eleven of the 17 members of the team made the prestigeous list including six with a 3.5 GPA or higher.

He is one of a very small minority to have played collegiate ball for two Hall of Famers at the same time.

He led the team again in 1932 (.282) and then batted .357 in 1933. The Nashua, NH native (born in 1913) entered the U.S. Navy in 1942 and served on the staff of Admiral Kent Hewitt in the planning and executiion of the invasion of North Africa and Sicily and aboard the U.S.S. Missouri remaining as Hewitt's Flag Secretary in London after World War II. He served during the Korean War and on the Joint Chiefs staff in Washington, DC working on the formation of NATO. He completed tours as intelligence officer on the staff of Naval District New Orleans and the Taiwan Defense Command in Taipei from 1958-61 during the Taiwan straits crises. In June 1965 he retired as a Commander and started a second career in education. He completed a Masters Degree program at Salem, MA State College and later taught at Malden, MA High School. Involved in Franco-American cultural activities, he was appointed as the state's French Cultural Commissioner in November 1971 by Governor Frank Sargent.

The first women's basketball/volleyball coach at the College, RUTH LINDEN, passed away Christmas Day 2007. Linden was also the first female winner of the Al Banx Memorial Award for service to the athletics department (1975).

Greyhound Hall of Famer women's basketball standout ANN MC INERNEY '88 (Worcester, MA) is now an assistant coach at Harvard University.
