SLIAC ANNOUNCES 2010 HALL OF FAME CLASS
ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC)
Commissioner, Will Wolper, has announced the Hall of Fame Class
of 2010. Highlighting this year's class are former Fontbonne
University's standouts Jason Schellman and Elizabeth Klotz.
Schellman was a four-year letter winner on
the Griffins men's soccer team and a four-time First Team All-SLIAC
recipient. He was named the SLIAC Newcomer of the Year in 2001 and went
on to earn SLIAC Player of the Year in 2002, 2003 and 2004. In addition,
he was the SLIAC Tournament MVP in 2004. Schellman helped lead his squad
to two SLIAC Regular Season Championships (2003 & 2004) and the SLIAC
Tournament Championship in 2004. Fontbonne's 2004 squad also set a SLIAC
record for most league/tournament wins in a season with 16.
Schellman currently holds two school
records at Fontbonne. He is the Griffins all-time leading goal scorer
with 55 and all-time leader in points with 124. He scored at least 11
goals in each of his four seasons and was the leading goal scorer all
four years. Schellman graduated from Fontbonne in 2005 with a bachelor's
degree in communication studies.
Klotz was a
four-year letter winner on the Griffins women's basketball squad. She
was a four-time All-SLIAC honoree, earning Second Team honors as a
freshman and First Team honors in her final three seasons. She was also
named the SLIAC Player of the Year in 2002-03 and 2003-04, while leading
the league in rebounding (9.6 per game) as a junior and rebounding (8.7
per game) and scoring (18.8 per game) as a senior.
During her four
years Fontbonne captured two SLIAC Regular Season Championships and made
two NCAA Division III Tournament appearances. Klotz, who was inducted
into the Fontbonne Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009, currently holds five
school records; highest career field goal percentage (58.7), most points
in a game (36), most field goals in a game (14), highest season average
points per game (18.8) and highest single season field goal percentage
(62.2). She finished her career with an average of 13.8 points per game,
9.5 rebounds per game and never shot lower than 51.0 percent fro the
field in any of her four seasons.
Klotz graduated from Fontbonne in 2004
with a bachelor's degree in Biology.
Both recipients will be formally inducted into the SLIAC Hall of Fame
during a ceremony held at their alma mater. Specific information on
date and time of the induction ceremony are forthcoming.
There are
25 members
currently in the SLIAC Hall of Fame, consisting of 20 former
student-athletes and five administrators. After a four-year hiatus from
2003-06, the Hall of Fame was reinstated in 2007. In order to be
eligible for consideration a student-athlete must have graduated from
his/her institution and played at least two years in a SLIAC
championship sport. Student-athletes are not eligible until at least
five years after their last date of participation. |
