LE MOYNE INDUCTS DAVID MCBRIDE '65, ROSEANN REYNOLDS SCHILLER '94 AND ADAM STOCKWELL '96 INTO HALL OF FAME

SYRACUSE, NY - In a ceremony held on campus, David McBride '65, Roseann Reynolds Schiller '94 and Adam Stockwell '96 were inducted to the Le Moyne College Gold Wave Hall of Fame. In addition, long time Le Moyne employee Teddy Kiddle was awarded the Vincent B. Ryan Dolphin Award.

The following descriptions were drafted by Frank Duesel and will be placed next to an artistic rendering by Joe Glission for display in the Athletic Center lobby.

DAVID MCBRIDE '65
Setting the stage...

Le Moyne’s athletic history is studded with magical moments. None is more thrilling to recall than a spring day in 1965 when the upstart team from the Salt City stunned an assembly of the best runners in the nation by winning the Penn Relays sprint medley.

The anchor of that team was Bill Ripple, whose exploits are also recorded in this hall. Bill O’Donnell and Chuck Desmond ran the middle legs. But the stage for victory was set by a young man from McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, remembered as the best long sprinter in Dolphin history, who kept his team in the thick of the race with a spectacular leadoff leg against the best runners in the country.

Consistently running 440 yards in less than 49 seconds, by the end of his college career he held all-time Le Moyne records in the 440, 600, and 880, and participated in record-setting relays in the mile, two mile, sprint medley and distance medley.

He is remembered by Le Moyne Hall of Fame Coach Dick May as a fun-loving athlete who enlivened the team. His academic work on the Heights and his gregarious nature prepared him for a career working with young people. He helped set the stage for countless careers as a distinguished high school science teacher and track and cross country coach.

Two National Science Foundation grants, an internship at NASA’s Educational Workshop for Mathematics, Science and Technology Teachers, and a Teacher-of-the-Year award attest to his skill in the classroom.

He has volunteered as a track and field official, president, vice president and rules interpreter for Rochester-Monroe County Track and Field Association and served his hometown Volunteer Ambulance and Public Library.

A graduate who set the stage for a magical moment in Dolphin athletics, and whose life reflects honor on his alma mater as a husband, father, teacher and volunteer.

ROSEANN REYNOLDS SCHILLER '94
Tenacious...

Fine athletes often have an enduring sense of doubt in their skills. No brilliant performance or record accomplishment will erase the lingering thought that they will not be capable of meeting the next challenge.

When allowed to dominate an endeavor, such thoughts breed mediocrity. When confronted directly, they become a catalyst that drives the athlete to work ever harder in practice, to exert maximum effort in competition, and to appreciate the ability of teammates and coaches. Their tenacious style of play and endearing humility earns respect.

Such was the character of this young woman who became captain and Most Valuable Player of both the basketball and soccer teams at Le Moyne, won the John J. O'Brien Senior Athlete of the Year Award and earned Academic All-American honors.

The tone of her career in green and gold was set early. As a freshman in front of hostile crowds in Erie, she recorded 27 points, 13 rebounds, and two steals in consecutive games against Mercyhurst and Gannon, coolly swishing two free throws in the final seconds to beat the Lakers in double overtime. She would record more than 1,000 points on the court and become the Dolphins' key player on the soccer field, where her ability to play "in the air" became legendary.

Le Moyne takes pride in her accomplishments in other arenas as well. She was a dean's list student and after graduation served in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, teaching first grade on an American Indian reservation in Montana. As an elementary school teacher, wife, mother, active member of her community and youth soccer and baseball coach, she reflects the values that mark the Jesuit tradition.

An athlete with the tenacity to confront and overcome doubt, and a person who is respected for service to others.

ADAM J. STOCKWELL '96
Discipline...

When opposing coacher have their teams watch videotape of a player to teach proper footwork you know you've got a star. When that player's hard work, dedication and discipline set the tone for a team, you've got the recipe for the best won-lost record in Dolphin basketball history.

He came to Le Moyne as a three-sport Frontier League All Star at Henderson Central School, following his dad to create the only father son team to reach 2,000 points in their respective New York State high school careers.

He left the Heights with his name sprinkled across Dolphin all-time records; a string of New England Collegiate Conference and all-Northeast honors; and as the John J. O'Brien Senior Athlete of the Year. He was captain and leading scorer of Le Moyne's 24-6 NCAA-tournament team, averaging 21.1 points and 5.6 rebounds while earning honorable mention All-American status.

Discipline was the mark of his game. That enviable footwork, like his deadly shooting accuracy, was the result of countless repetitions. From tip-off to the final moments when a game hung in the balance, he would be at his spots, coolly making plays. Though a fierce competitor whose deadly three-pointer from the top of the key put the Dolphins over the top on many nights, flamboyance shoed only in the stat sheet.

His discipline extended to his career in the classroom. A dean's list economics major, he was selected to the GTE/CoSIDA District I All-Academic Team. After a stint playing professional ball in Ireland, he began a coaching career at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse. As an assistant at Canisius College, he earned a Masters of Business Administration while helping to develop a team that won 20 games.

Today, he is a husband, father and head basketball coach and compliance director at Clarkson University.

An athlete who led Dolphin basketball to its best record to date through dedication to excellence and the discipline to achieve it.
