The Erie native added a team-high 24 field saves.

Gannon University promises a well-rounded education, and student-athlete Greg Radwan exemplifies that promise both on and off the field. A starting pitcher, designated hitter, dean’s list member and scholar-athlete, the Farnham, N.Y., native knows the importance of hard work.

Radwan, a senior early childhood/elementary education major and son of Sherry and Greg Radwan, played for head coach Paul Bartell at St. Francis High School. He began his baseball career at Gannon in 2007 and earned the sixth-highest single-season sacrifice hit total in school history. In 2008, Radwan started in 44 games. He earned All-GLIAC honorable-mention accolades, and he was named to the GLIAC All-Academic team. He was also named a preseason All-American. Radwan started in 45 games in 2009 and was named a PSAC ScholarAthlete. In 2010, Radwan landed a spot on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District second team. He said his proudest athletic achievement occurred when the team won 21 games in his senior year. When Radwan steps off the pitcher’s mound, he continues his success in academics. A regular on the dean’s list, Radwan holds a 3.69 cumulative grade point average. “Off the field, Greg’s intelligent and responsible. He always takes care of his schoolwork,” Cocolin said. “As hardworking as he is, I know he’s going to be successful.” Although Radwan enjoyed accomplishments on the field and in the classroom, Radwan said he believes the University community more than anything made his experiences at Gannon memorable. “The one thing I will remember from my time at Gannon is all the great people I have met,” he said. “I have met many people who I have close relationships with, and I will cherish meeting those people forever.” Cherry is a junior journalism communications major and intern in the Communications office.

“He’s very dependable and always someone I can count on,” baseball head coach Nate Cocolin said. “He’s our best pitcher and one of our best hitters. He works extremely hard, and other people notice it.”
