Below is a list of Cadet earned awards for the listed academic years. Special note is to be made for the Koehn and Murph 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.

In addition to these named awards, there is one other deceased cadet honored by his parents Don and Lois LaTorra, who recognized the passion and value their son placed on his AFA rugby experience. The LaTorra Fund, A true Endowment Fund created in memory of Ross LaTorra (80) and held at the AOG, spins off interest each year to support the Men's team.


As sometimes happens with changing of coaches and administrations, the details and names of these awards get confusing, 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: Murph Award and Koehn Award

There used to be a plaque in Arnold Hall that had the MVPs listed for men and women but we do not know where it is, so this is our only history:
