Andy Crowley – Baseball
Andy Crowley was a four-year Lancer with numerous accolades in a CBU baseball jersey. The outfielder opened his career with an impressive freshman season, earning the PacWest Freshman of the Year award and was honored as an N-C-C-A-A All-American in 2012. Crowley continued to impress throughout his career at CBU and was named the 2014 PacWest Player of the Year, the 2015 PacWest Defender of the Year, and is a 4-time N-C-Double-A Division Two All-West Region honoree.
Crowley holds a career three-forty-five batting average and has the second most at-bats in program history with 820; the outfielder played in 217 games, the third most in program history, and amassed 283 hits during his time as a Lancer, just two hits away from becoming the all-time leader. Impressively, Crowley transitioned into a pitcher for the Lancers during his senior year and ranks 13th in saves.
Joseph Moorman – Men's Water PoloIf it existed, Joseph Moorman would be the first head to appear on the CBU men's water polo Mount Rushmore. His four years at CBU resulted in three NCAA All-American honors, two WWPA All-Conference first team goalkeeper awards, two WWPA All-Tournament honors, and a CoSIDA Academica All-American nod. He remains on top of the Lancer all-time record book with an untouchable record of 1,914 career saves, nearly 800 more than second place. He also owns three of the four highest single-season save totals, including the highest single-season total in CBU history with 430 stops in 2016. Moorman ranks in the top-five of every major statistical category for goalkeepers in both career and single-season lists, and truly showed off in 2014 by leading the team in steals that season with 65.
Josh Hanson – Men's Swim
Josh Hanson is one of the most highly decorated Lancer athletes in department history. Josh earned All-American status eight times at the Division II level and was a 16-time top-16 finisher at the Division II Championships, the most in program history. He was the RMAC Swimmer of the Year three-straight years while winning nine individual conference championships and adding to four more relay titles. His accolades weren't limited to the pool, as Hanson was twice the RMAC Academic Athlete of the Year, and once earned the RMAC Summit Award. Josh remains the program record holder in the 200 backstroke and the 200 individual medley, and is still ranked in the top-10 in eight other races.
Lauren Hackett – Volleyball
Lauren was a first-team All-American in 2017, a two-time third-team All-American, and was the NCAA Division Two Freshman of the Year in 2014. Lauren was also the Division Two West Region Player of the Year in 2017, a three-time first-team All-West Region selection, and the 2014 All West Region Freshman of the Year. In the PacWest, Lauren was the Player of the Year in 2017, the Freshman of the Year in 2014, a four-time First Team All PacWest selection, and the 2017 PacWest Scholar Athlete of the Year. Lauren is number one in the NCAA era in kills for CBU with one thousand six hundred and eighty-seven and helped lead the Lancers to a PacWest championships in 2017.
Tory Ferreira – Softball
CBU softball has a long history of great pitching and Tory Ferreira is among the best of the best in that category. Ferreira played for the Lancers for four years and remains in the top-five of most CBU pitching records. Ferreira boasted a career ERA of one-point-one-nine while allowing opposing hitters just a one-ninety-seven batting average. She was named the GSAC and NAIA Pitcher of the Year in 2009 as the ace led CBU to the NAIA softball national championship. Her success continued through the NCAA transition, earning First Team All-PacWest Honors in the Lancers' inaugural season at the Division II level.
