Scott Cassidy '98 // Baseball (1996-98)
A 10-year professional pitcher, Scott Cassidy registered 14 wins, 18 complete games, a 3.44 earned run average and 153 strikeouts as a three-year starter on the mound for the Dolphins. His 18 complete games are the second-most in the program's history and are the most from the Division-I era. He was just the second Dolphin to make 29 starts (following Gold Wave Hall of Famer Jon Ratliff '93) and he trails just Ratliff in career shutouts with four. At the time of his graduation, Cassidy ranked second on the Division I chart with 186 innings pitched. As a senior, Cassidy was selected as the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Year after going 7-5 with a 3.06 ERA and 83 strikeouts and leading the Dolphins to a 26-15 record, including a 20-6 mark in conference play. After graduating, Cassidy signed with the Toronto Blue Jays on May 21, 1998 as an amateur free agent. He worked his way through the Blue Jays minor league system - picking up league All-Star honors in 1998, 2000 and 2001 - and earned a spot on Toronto's opening day roster for the 2002 season. He made his Major League debut against the Boston Red Sox on April 1, 2002, throwing one and two-thirds scoreless innings. Cassidy appeared in 58 games as a rookie for the Blue Jays in 2002, posting a 1-4 record with 48 strikeouts in 66 innings pitched. After spending the 2003, 2004 and 2005 seasons at the Triple-A level with the Blue Jays, Red Sox and Padres, Cassidy joined the Padres for their run to the 2005 West division title. In 10 appearances out of San Diego's bullpen, Cassidy compiled a record of 1-1 and 12 strikeouts over 12 and one-third innings pitched. In 2006, Cassidy broke training camp with the Padres. He pitched in 42 games, recording a 6-4 record, a 2.53 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 42.2 innings pitched. Cassidy completed his professional career in 2007, registering a 4-4 record, 10 saves and 49 strikeouts in 40 innings over 40 appearances for San Diego's AAA affiliate, Portland. After signing with the Milwaukee Brewers in December 2007 in an effort to bolster the team for the 2008 season, Cassidy announced his retirement on March 2, 2008. Cassidy is in his fifth year as the head coach of the Le Moyne baseball program.
 
Alison Lesher '08 // Women's Swimming (2004-08)
The only individual national champion in the College's history, Alison Lesher is the first member of the women's swimming and diving program to be elected to the Hall of Fame. In March 2008, she captured the national championship in the 200-yard butterfly with a school-record time of 2:01.66. In addition to being the only Le Moyne athlete to win a national championship, she became just the second student-athlete in the Northeast-10 Conference's history to win a national championship in the sport of swimming. The most decorated women's swimmer in the program's history, Lesher was a five-time All-American. To go along with her gold medal at the 2008 NCAA Championships, she placed seventh in the 1000-yard freestyle and the 1650-yard freestyle at her final collegiate event. As a sophomore, she placed fifth in the 200-yard butterfly and received the silver medal in the event as a junior. For her efforts during the season, she was named the 2006-07 Northeast-10 Conference Women's Swimming Athlete of the Year. In her career, she was selected as the Most Valuable Swimmer at the 2006-07 and 2007-08 Northeast-10 Conference Championships and won 10 conference championships as a Dolphin. At the time of her graduation, she held eight different school records and still holds five of them, including the time from her national championship race. She also holds four Rev. Vincent B. Ryan, S.J. Pool records. In addition to her accolades in the pool, she was named the 2007-08 Rev. J.J. O'Brien, S.J. Female Senior Athlete Achievement Award recipient, the 2007-2008 Northeast-10 Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year and the 2007-08 Northeast-10 Woman of the Year. From her NE-10 Woman of the Year recognition, Lesher was selected as a Division II top-10 finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. During her time at Le Moyne, Lesher was named to the Dean's list for eight semesters and was a Presidential Scholar recipient all four years. She was also a three-time Northeast-10 All-Academic selection and was named to the Commissioners Honor Roll on four occasions.
 
Brandon Spillett '05 // Men's Lacrosse (2002-05)
The scorer of the two most memorable goals in the program's history, Brandon Spillett is just the third member of the men's lacrosse program to be elected to the Hall of Fame. After having already scored five goals in the contest, Spillett forced overtime in the 2004 National Championship game against Limestone College by scoring his sixth goal with just two seconds remaining in the game. The game's Most Valuable Player after registering eight points, Spillett scored 44 seconds into the second overtime period to give the Dolphins an 11-10 win and the College's first national championship. Additionally with the victory, the Dolphins became the first men's team (regardless of sport) in the history of the Northeast-10 Conference to capture a national championship. A two-time USILA First Team All-America selection, Spillett ended his 58-game career with 185 points on 112 goals and 73 assists. He ranks fourth in career goals, sixth in assists and seventh in total points. At the time of his graduation, he was third, fourth and sixth in those categories, respectively. During the team's run to the national championship in 2004, Spillett tallied 65 points on 40 goals and 25 assists. His 65 points are the eighth-most in a season in the program's history and a total that hasn't been reached since he did so. The 40 goals are tied for the 13th-most and were tied for the eighth-most when he did it. A two-time Northeast-10 Conference First Team All-Conference selection, he was named the 2004-05 Rev. J.J. O'Brien, S.J. Male Senior Athlete Achievement Award recipient.

2003 Softball Team
The 2003 Softball team went 47-10 and won its second consecutive NCAA Northeast Regional Championship to earn a berth in the NCAA Championships in Salem, Oregon. The 47 victories established a new New York State collegiate record for any division. For their efforts, head coach Ken King and assistant coach Ed Mahar were named the NFCA Northeast Region Coaching Staff of the Year. In Northeast-10 Conference action, the Dolphins went 25-3 to claim the regular season championship. The Dolphins won their first five games of the season to win the Barry University Tournament and posted a 12-3 record in their 10-day season-opening trip to Florida. As the host of the NCAA Northeast Regional, the Dolphins recorded three straight shutouts to capture their second straight regional title. For her efforts in the regional, senior pitcher Marnie Sundberg was named the Region Most Valuable Player. After suffering a 1-0 loss to eventual runner-up Georgia College in their first game at the NCAA Championships, the Dolphins claimed their second-ever Championships victory by defeating West Florida, 5-2. They were edged by North Dakota State, 5-4, the following day to finish the season ranked fifth in the country. The Dolphins claimed three of the Northeast-10 Conference major awards (Player, Pitcher and Freshman of the Year) and placed five players on the NE-10 First Team and one on the Second Team. The team also had four players selected to the NFCA All-Northeast Region First Team and one named to the Second Team. Additionally, freshman shortstop Jennifer Winters was named to the NFCA All-America Second Team, becoming the first (and still only) position player in the program's history to earn All-America honors. Statistically, the Dolphins led the Northeast-10 Conference in almost every offensive and pitching category. On the national scene, the Dolphins led the country with a team earned run average of 0.64, just over 0.20 better than the next closest team. Individually, the Dolphins had two of the top-seven pitchers in the country in earned run average (Megan Vecchiano, 3rd, 0.53; Marnie Sundberg, 7th, 0.66). Additionally, Sundberg was 20th in the country in wins with 25, while Vecchiano was 28th with 22.
