Lietz Bestowed the Joan Leitzel Award
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire Athletic Department inducted six members – five individuals and a national championship team – as the Class of 2016 into the UNH Hall of Fame at Saturday's banquet that was held on campus at Huddleston Hall.
The individual student-athletes were alpine skier Vèronique Archambault-Lèger '10, volleyball player Aly (Coler) Quinn '04, track & field performer Ed McCabe '87, runner Cathy Parker Rowley '08 and football quarterback Ricky Santos '07. The 1997-98 women's ice hockey team, which won the inaugural American Women's College Hockey Alliance national championship, was also enshrined.
Andy Lietz was honored at the Hall of Fame ceremony with the Joan Leitzel Award, which was established in 2006 and is presented each induction ceremony to honor an individual's significant contributions to the lives of UNH student-athletes.
The evening's ceremony, which included, friends, family, athletic department staff and alums in attendance, began with a quick introduction of the inductees followed by comments from UNH President Mark Huddleston and Athletic Director Marty Scarano.
And in a fortuitous turn of events, all attendees watched the online broadcast of a pair of current Wildcats – Elinor Purrier and Laura Rose Donegan – competing in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Everyone cheered as the 'Cats finished third and sixth, respectively, to earn All-America status.

Archambault-Lèger, who served as captain in both her junior and senior seasons, truly epitomized the word student-athlete by excelling both in the classroom and on the alpine ski slopes all four years (2007-10) as a UNH Wildcat. In her career, Archambault-Lèger was a five-time All-American, four-time NCAA All-Academic Ski Team honoree and four time All-East selection who recorded 31 top-five finishes, including nine victories, in the Eastern carnival circuit.
Archambault-Lèger's other career accolades included 2010 Academic All-America Second Team, 2009 Academic All-America Third Team, 2007 EISA Rookie of the Year, EISA slalom points champion in both '07 and '08 as well as giant slalom points champion in '07.
The native of Montreal, Quebec advanced to the NCAA Skiing Championships all four years. The Wildcats placed 11th in her freshman and sophomore years, then took ninth place in her junior and senior seasons.
Archambault-Lèger made an immediate impact as a freshman in 2007 and capped the year with two All-America honors by placing third in both the slalom and giant slalom at the NCAA Championships. She once again earned All-America status in both disciplines at the 2009 NCAAs with seventh place in the slalom and 10th in the giant slalom. Archambault-Lèger raced to eighth place in the slalom at the '10 NCAA championships to garner All-America accolades in her final race as a collegian.
Archambault-Lèger graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering with a 3.92 cumulative grade-point-average (the highest in her class within her major), and that included three semesters with a perfect 4.0 and no semester lower than a 3.81. She was the recipient of four academic excellence awards in chemical engineering, a UNH Presidential Scholarship and a Dean Williamson Award, which is bestowed annually to a senior who has been outstanding and well-rounded in extra-curricular activities, scholarship, athletics and loyalty to the University.
Quinn made an indelible mark on the UNH volleyball program and left with her name written all over the pages of the record book. And it remains there to date at No. 1 in career kills with 1,814 – a whopping 428 more than the No. 2 mark of 1,386. She is also atop the leaderboard in career attack attempts with 4,726, which once again outdistances the next mark of 4,129 by 597. Quinn also graduated as the record holder in career digs with 1,231 and that total is currently No. 4 on the all-time list. She also amassed 147 career service aces, which also ranks fourth in UNH history.
Quinn boasts the top two single-season totals in kills with the benchmark of 564 in 2002 and 554 in 2003. She also holds the No. 6 spot with 429 kills in 2001. On the list of UNH's single-season superlatives for attack attempts, Quinn once again holds the top two positions with 1,508 as a senior in '03 and 1,458 in 2002.
The native of Monte Sereno, Calif. also holds two individual match records with 38 kills in a five-set match at Northeastern University (Oct. 8, 2002) and 81 attack attempts in that match.
Her individual success lifted the team to equally impressive heights, as New Hampshire advanced to the NCAA tournament in 2002 and 2003 after winning the conference title both years. UNH compiled an 87-43 overall record for a .669 winning percentage that included a 49-9 mark (.845 win percentage) in America East.
After garnering three America East awards – Rookie of the Year, All-Rookie Team and Honorable Mention – as a freshman, Quinn was a three-time selection to the All-Conference First Team. She became the first student-athlete to win consecutive America East Player of the Year awards when she was feted in '02 and '03. Quinn's other conference accolades included Tournament Most Outstanding Player in '03 and All-Tournament Team three consecutive years (2001-03).
Quinn was recognized beyond the conference level. She became the second Wildcat to garner AVCA All-Region honors when she was named to the All-Northeast Region Team in 2002. Quinn garnered All-Region recognition again in '03 and also became the first 'Cat to receive All-America honors when she was named Honorable Mention.
McCabe came to UNH as a walk-on in 1983 and left in 1987 as one of the finest track & field throwers in school history who was respected throughout New England for his honest and competitive nature. His outdoor records for both shot put and discuss stood for more than two decades.
As a senior, McCabe advanced to the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in the 35-pound weight throw and earned a spot on the All-America Team by placing in the top 10, at No. 6, with a toss of 62 feet, 7.25 inches. Earlier that season, McCabe was the shot put and 35-pound weight champion at both the New England and EIAA championships.
The Granite State native out of Nashua completed his collegiate career with 16 first-place efforts in the 1987 outdoor track & field season, and that included sweeping the discus, hammer and shot put at the EIAA Championship to earn recognition as the Outstanding Field Athlete. McCabe won the shot put title at the New England meet with a school-record effort of 56-4. He went on to win the New England title in the shot put and also earned third in the hammer as well as fifth in the discus at that event. In his last collegiate competition, McCabe placed fourth in the shot at the IC4A championships.
As an alum, McCabe has worked tirelessly for the track & field programs as a fund raiser. He co-founded the Alumni and Friends Golf Tournament that has been providing financial support for more than 22 years.
Parker Rowley is another Wildcat who exemplified the quintessential student-athlete while competing on New Hampshire's women's cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field teams from the fall 2004 to spring 2008 semesters. She was the first UNH athlete – male or female – to qualify for the NCAA Championships in both cross country and track & field, and is the only 'Cat to qualify for the NCAA cross country championship twice. Parker Rowley also qualified for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Track and Field trials.
The Westford, Mass. native recorded one of the most successful cross country seasons in program history as a junior in 2006. Parker Rowley advanced to the NCAAs by virtue of a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Northeast Regionals that garnered a spot on the All-Northeast Region Team; earlier that year, she was the individual champion at the America East Championships.
Parker Rowley had an equally impressive senior season in '07. She was feted as the America East Women's Cross Country Scholar-Athlete, named to the USTFCCCA (United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association) Women's All-Academic Team and, after receiving only one of two individual at-large invitations, earned All-America status with her 28th-place finish at the NCAA national race to become the University's first All-American in the running program in nearly 15 years. Parker Rowley's other accolades included America East All-Conference Team and All-Academic Team.
On the track, there were very few equal to Parker Rowley in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. In the 2007 outdoor season, she placed 11th in the final heat at the NCAAs to garner All-America status. She had smashed her own school record one day earlier in the NCAA preliminary heat with a time of 10 minutes, 6.45 seconds. Parker Rowley had qualified for the NCAAs with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Northeast Regional, and that was after winning the America East title for the second consecutive year.
Parker Rowley was named an NCAA Academic All-American three times and a WICCA Academic All-American once. She was voted to the America East All-Academic squad every season of competition and was on UNH's highest honor roll every semester while pursuing a degree in nursing.
Santos, a four-year starter (2004-07) at quarterback, is the most decorated player in the storied history of the Wildcats' football program, and he rewrote the NCAA record book in addition to UNH's. He won the 2006 Walter Payton Award (FCS most outstanding offensive player), was a five-time All-America Team honoree and three-time conference Offensive Player of the Year. He was also feted as Rookie of the Year by both the ECAC and Atlantic 10.
The Bellingham, Mass., native ranks first in Division I FCS history with 2,140 career plays, he is No. 3 all-time in both passing yards (13,212) and touchdown passes (123), and ranks fourth in total offense (14,615 yards). Santos also holds the NCAA benchmarks for TD passes in a season (31) and most yards gained in a game by a freshman (544).
Santos currently holds a total of 16 school records. In addition to the NCAA records, he is atop UNH's career leaderboard for completions (1,024), pass attempts (1,498) and completion percentage (68.3%). On the list of single-season superlatives, he holds the top three marks for completions, top two efforts for passing yards and No. 2-4 in pass attempts as well as single-season records for completion percentage and total offense. Santos is the single-game record holder for passing TDs (six), passing yards (538) and completions percentage (96.2%).
Santos led the Wildcats to a 37-14 record in four seasons. Over that time, Santos guided New Hampshire to the NCAA I-AA/FCS playoffs all four seasons, led the squad to its first-ever D-I postseason victory, was part of the 2005 Atlantic 10 championship team and two A-10 Northern Division titles (2004, 2006).
Following his graduation, Santos went on to play football professionally for five years. He signed as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs for a brief stint in 2008 before moving north to play in the Canadian Football League from 2009-12. He was a member of the Montreal Alouettes in 2008 and '09 before a trade sent him to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He re-signed with the Alouettes for the '10 and '11 seasons and wrapped up his pro career on the Toronto Argonauts' practice squad in 2012.
Santos rejoined the New Hampshire football program as an assistant coach in 2013 and served as wide receivers coach for three seasons.
New Hampshire's 1997-98 women's ice hockey team made history by winning the inaugural national championship with a 4-1 victory against Brown University in the American Women's College Hockey Alliance title game at FleetCenter (Boston Garden) in Boston. That victory lifted the Wildcats to a season-ending record of 31-5-3 overall (.838 winning percentage) and established the benchmark for single-season victories (since surpassed with 33 in '06 and '08).
Led by head coach Karen Kay, the Wildcats won the ECAC regular-season title with an 18-1-3 record (.886 win percentage) and also skated to a 10-1-2 mark (.846 win percentage) on home ice at the Whittemore Center.
UNH opened the season with seven consecutive wins and raced out to a 17-2-1 record through 20 games with both losses coming to Canada's Concordia University, which accounted for a total of three of the Wildcats' five losses in 1997-98. New Hampshire closed the regular season with a 12-game unbeaten streak of 10-0-2 and extended the streak to 13 by defeating Princeton University, 7-2, in the ECAC semifinals. The Wildcats were upended 4-3 by Brown in the league title game but received one of four berths to the AWCHA tournament and defeated the University of Minnesota, 4-1, in the national semifinals to advance to the historic championship game.
The 1997-98 women's ice hockey team boasted the inaugural Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award recipient (Brandy Fisher), two All-America selections (Fisher and Nicki Luongo) and the ECAC Player of the Year (Fisher).
Lietz who received an honorary degree from the University in 2013, is an avid supporter and strong advocate of UNH Athletics. Those characteristics exemplify the spirit of the Joan Leitzel Award, whose namesake was a proponent of UNH Athletics during her service as UNH President spanning the 1996-97 through 2001-02 academic years.
Lietz has served on panels and committees for both the University and UNH Athletics, including 2000-08 on the University System of New Hampshire Board of Trustees; during that time, he was chair from 2004-08.
In 2008, he became a member of the President's Blue Ribbon Panel on Intercollegiate Athletics, which concluded that intercollegiate athletics is a great value to UNH by providing increased visibility, enriching student and academic life, and instilling a strong sense of pride and connection for alumni and donors; the Panel also noted that athletic facilities needed investment and renovations, which ultimately led to numerous improvements in the Field House, Cowell Stadium and the Whittemore Center.
Lietz then chaired the Subcommittee for Athletic Facilities, whose findings led to the formulation of specific campaign priorities, including the recently installed video board in the Whittemore Center. He has also served as chair of the Athletics Campaign Steering Committee, which was established in 2012 to raise significant philanthropic support for UNH Athletics during the University-wide comprehensive campaign.
Furthermore, Lietz played a prominent role in the development of the Watkins Center for Student-Athlete Excellence, which opened in April 2015, as well as garnering support for the Stadium Project that was approved by the USNH Board of Trustees in June 2014.
