Men's Awards
Below is a list of Cadet earned awards for the listed academic year. Special note is to be made for the Koehn and Murphy awards, named after, and in honor and memory of Danial Murphy (2003) and Kim Koehn (1973), both of whom exhibited such a love of our sport that so played a part in their lives that their families and teammates wished to preserved their memories when their lives were cut short.
Other than this award, as of this writing, there are three other ways we have honored male rugby grads who have joined the spectators in the stands:
Latorra Fund, A true Endowment Fund created in memory of . The Men's team is eligible to annually use the interest.
As sometimes happens with changing of coaches and administrations, these details get lost, so where the award was not given out by name, but another 'named' award was given, a 'best fit' for the honoree is place into the chart below. The details for each award that guided the 'best fit' are kept on this site for posterity: Murphy Award and Koehn Award
