• Clemens was one of the most productive players in Lock Haven women's soccer history, finishing her career as the program's all-time leader in goals (49) and points (117). She also ranks sixth in program history with 19 career assists.
Clemens' 17 goals in 1997 remain tied for the top single-season total in program history, while her 13 goals in 1996 are tied for fifth. A four-time All-PSAC selection, Clemens earned first-team recognition in 1996, 1997 and 1998 before collecting second-team honors in 1999. She was also an All-Region selection in each of her four seasons.
Clemens helped guide Lock Haven to a 54-21-5 record during her career. The Bald Eagles finished as PSAC runners-up in 1996 and 1997, reached the PSAC semifinals in 1998 and made history in 1999.
• Dolan made a lasting impact on Lock Haven cross country and track and field through more than 15 years of coaching, decades of teaching and a lifelong commitment to student-athletes. He served as Lock Haven's head cross country coach from 1969-85 and head track and field coach from 1970-75, and he helped co-found the women's cross country program in 1976.
• Amy (Barger) Kriebel was a four-year starter and one of the most accomplished players in Lock Haven women's basketball history. She concluded her career with 1,343 points, 656 rebounds and a program-record 121 games played.
Kriebel remains among Lock Haven's career leaders, ranking fifth in points, field goals made and field goals attempted; second in field goal percentage; fourth in rebounds; and first in games played. At the time of her graduation, she ranked second in program history in scoring and field goals made, while setting the career field goal percentage record at .587.
A two-time first-team All-PSAC selection in 1989-90 and 1990-91, Kriebel also earned All-ECAC East Region and All-ECAC Regional Tournament Team honors in both seasons. She helped lead the Bald Eagles to four PSAC Final Fours, two PSAC championship games and the 1989-90 PSAC championship.
• Dean Kriebel established himself as one of the premier post players in Lock Haven men's basketball history during a four-year career that included 1,582 points and 784 rebounds. His scoring total set the program record upon his graduation in 1990 and still ranks fourth all-time.
A two-time All-PSAC selection, Kriebel also earned two All-ECAC East Region honors and was a two-time All-ECAC East Region All-Tournament Team selection. He helped lead Lock Haven to a school-record 83 victories, four PSAC Final Four appearances and two NCAA Tournament berths.
• Spatafore was a cornerstone of Lock Haven women's lacrosse during one of the program's most successful eras. A two-time first-team IWLCA/U.S. Lacrosse All-American, Spatafore earned the honor in 2005 and 2007 and was also named a first-team Inside Lacrosse All-American in 2005.
Statafore was also a four-time All-PSAC student-athlete and the conference's 2004 Rookie of the Year.
• Weaver's impact on field hockey spans an exceptional playing career, championship coaching success and influential leadership within the sport. As a goalkeeper at Lock Haven, Weaver recorded 17 career shutouts and remains among the program's top five all-time leaders in career goals-against average at 0.61. She also ranks among the top 10 in PSAC history in the category.
Weaver's success as a player extended to the international level when she was selected to the 1980 U.S. Olympic field hockey team. The team did not compete in the Moscow Olympic Games because of the United States-led boycott.
