Atkins, Dell Highlight UNCW Athletic Award Winners

2014-15 UNCW ATHLETIC AWARDS WINNERS

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – First-Team All-CAA women's basketball selection Kelva Atkins and men's soccer scoring phenom Jamie Dell received the Thomas V. Moseley Awards as UNCW's top student-athletes for 2014-15 at Tuesday's Athletic Awards Banquet at the Burney Center.
 
In other major awards, Alyssa Ritchie (women's tennis) and Zach Hublitz (men's tennis) collected the Chancellor's Cup Awards for Athletic and Academic Excellence, Meredith Peacock (volleyball)  received the Soaring Seahawk Award, the softball team earned the Team Leadership Award, and the men's soccer team collected the inaugural athletic director's award.

A senior from Stem, N.C., Atkins earned First-Team All-CAA honors this past season to cap a stellar career. The three-year letter winner played in 93 games during her career with the Seahawks and concluded her career at the school's fifth all-time scorer with 1,329 points.

The fleet-footed playmaker is one of three players in the program's history with at least 1,000 points, 400 rebounds, 250 steals and 150 steals. She was the CAA's third leading scorer in 2014-15 and scored at least 20 points eight times, including a 40 point outburst vs. Charleston Southern on Dec. 20 at Trask Coliseum.

Dell led the Seahawk men's soccer team to one of the best seasons in school history. The striker from Chapel Hill scored 10 goals as the Seahawks went 13-5-2 to win the CAA regular season crown and earn the school's first at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament.

Dell, who became UNCW's first men's soccer All-American since 2009, powered the Seahawks past Bucknell in the NCAA Tournament to cap a season that included six game-winning goals in a spectacular senior campaign.

Ritchie, a senior from Franklin, Ohio, was presented the Chancellor's Cup for her work on the court and in the classroom. She went 14-3 in singles this spring and earned First-Team All-CAA honors in singles and All-Academic honors for the successful women's tennis team.

Ritchie was near perfect in the classroom, compiling a 3.971 grade point average as a biology major. A regular on the Dean's List, the Honors student was inducted into Phi Eta Sigma and was active in the Sigma Alpha Lambda leadership organization.

Like Ritchie, Hublitz excelled academically during his senior year on the tennis team. He earned CAA All-Academic honors after posting a 3.89 GPA in accounting. The Vienna, Va., netter, who completed an internship with the prestigious firm of Ernst & Young, played a key role as UNCW earned the top seed in the CAA Tournament and advanced to the CAA semifinals for the eighth consecutive season.

Peacock, a junior middle blocker from Charlotte, N.C., captured the eighth Soaring Seahawk Award, which is presented to an individual who has demonstrated a commitment to their team and exhibited good sportsmanship and conduct.

Peacock ranked fifth in the nation in blocks per set and was the only junior to earn First-Team All-CAA accolades. She became UNCW's career block assist leader this past season and collected AVCA East Coast Region Honorable Mention All-America laurels.

For the 15th year, the Team Leadership Award was presented to recognize an athletic team that demonstrated excellent leadership skills through community service, charitable and educational events. The softball team set a school record for home victories with 15 wins while contributing more than 1,000 hours of service to the Wilmington community.

The men's soccer team was the recipient of the first Athletic Director's Award following its memorable campaign. The award was introduced to recognize a team that aligns with the department's strategic goals and the team's thrilling NCAA season fit the bill. Coach Aidan Heaney's team scored first against eventual national champion Virginia in the NCAA Second Round before falling to the Cavaliers in Charlottesville, Va.
