Hovey was MVP for 1986 NWAACC women’s basketball. Moser was a two time all-region performer while playing on the 1985 and 86 men’s soccer teams, and he was also MVP of the NWAACC all-star game in 1986. Pethick was a two time all-league performer and played men’s soccer on the 1984 and 85 teams. Roffler (Harris) was the NWAACC high jump champion in 1985 and 1986, and was also member of the 1986 women’s basketball team. Tuttle was MVP of NWAACC men’s basketball for 1983.
