Two football players and two field hockey players received national honors this fall.
In football, Matt Mender ’16, a biomedical engineering major from Glens Falls, New York, and Jeff Weinfeld ’16, a chemical engineering major from Newton, Massachusetts, were elected NCAA Division III Academic All-Americans by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Mender, a defensive tackle, was elected to the first team, and Weinfeld, a punter, was elected to the second team. The 2015 season was the second consecutive Academic All-America honor for Mender.
In field hockey, Tara Lamberti ’16, a psychology major from Penfield, New York, and Michelle Relin ’16, an optical engineering major from Lititz, Pennsylvania, were named Division III All-Americans, an honor chosen by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association and sponsored by Longstreth.
Lamberti, a goalkeeper, and Relin, a forward, both earned first-team honors, becoming the first Yellowjacket field hockey players to earn first-team accolades and the first to earn multiple All-American honors. Both were named to the second team in 2014.
