Record Number of Dutchmen Named All-American; First Female Jerseys Retired A record number of four Flying Dutchmen student-athletes were named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2013–14. A record number of 10 student-athletes were named AllAmericans in their respective sports, including the firstever All-Americans Michael Harnish ’15 in softball (Sam Derr ’14 and Sammy Bost ’16) and men’s indoor track & field (Michael Harnish ’15). Jocelyn Novak ’12, LVC’s all-time leading scorer for field hockey, became the first female student-athlete in LVC history to have her jersey retired last fall. Two other former stars, both in women’s basketball, also received the honor when Stephanie Tighe Sutton ’03 and Andrea Hoover ’11 saw their jerseys retired in February.

Athletic Training and Exercise Science Majors Added Starting in September 2015, students can pursue a 3+2 athletic training major, which will lead to a master’s degree, or a traditional four-year exercise science major, earning a bachelor’s degree. Luke Berguson ’15, D’17 is co-captain of the men’s basketball team and in his fourth year as a student athletic trainer—one of more than 20 current student athletic trainers. “I think it’s great that students in these new programs will have the opportunity to work with LVC’s certified athletic trainers—Erin Ulrich, Caitlin Foltz, and Megan Inama—who are among the best in the Middle Atlantic Conference,” Berguson said. “LVC will provide these students with real-life experiences and learning opportunities that they will directly benefit from.” To learn more about these programs, visit www.lvc.edu/athletictraining and www.lvc.edu/exercise-science.
