SETON HALL ATHLETICS 2012-13 Annual Report
hall of fame This June, the Seton Hall University Department of Athletics welcomed five new members to the Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Fame at the 2013 Hall of Fame Enshrinement Dinner and Pirate Blue Golf Outing held at the Fairmount Country Club in Chatham, N.J. The 25th induction class featured a collection of some of the most decorated student-athletes in school history including former men’s basketball star Andre Barrett ’04, baseball’s Rico Bellini ’74, and a trio from the same starstudded class; four-time BIG EAST Champion swimmer Jennifer HeiderBerenyi ’94, two-time All-American wrestler Joe Burke ’94, and current SHU men’s soccer head coach Gerson Echeverry ’94, who established himself as one of the most potent offensive forces in the nation as a forward for the Pirates in the early nineties. “We are excited to welcome such a distinguished group to the Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Fame,” said Director of Athletics Pat Lyons. “This class was special in that each one of these individuals excelled at a level that helped elevate Seton Hall into the national spotlight. The Hall of Fame Golf Outing and Enshrinement Dinner is an annual occurrence and we are thrilled that through this event and the tremendous support of Pirate Blue members, we are able to honor and recognize the contributions of some of the most impactful individuals in our storied athletics history while also continuing to support a new generation of Pirates.” The annual Hall of Fame event also serves as a fund-raiser for the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund which directly supports the Seton Hall Department of Athletics and our 200+ student-athletes. Several sponsors provided critical funding for the evenings event, including: Torcon, Inc., IVL Group, LLC and Ian Lagowitz, The Walsh Family, Life Fitness, The Lucciola Family and The Leegis Group.
