It was the second straight year that he’s been selected for this prestigious award. Lonnberg, majoring in Political Science, carries a 3.968 GPA. He was presented with the award at the NCAA Final Four Banquet. The Elite 89, an award founded by the NCAA, recog- nizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achiev- ing the highest academic standard among his or her peers. Sarah Benedetti, David Lonnberg, and Jamey Veney were inducted into the Duns Scotus Honor Society. Founded in 1935, the Duns Scotus Society is named for the Blessed Duns Scotus, a Franciscan scholar and champion of Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception. Election to membership in the Society is based on scholastic standing, participation in extracurricular ac- tivities, evidence of loyalty to the ideals of St. Francis College and demonstration of a true Franciscan spirit. The St. Francis Brooklyn women’s basketball team finished fourth in the WBCA (D1)with an incredible 3.608 combined grade point average. In addition, the Terriers earned their third consecutive Northeast Conference Team Institutional Award in their sport after earning the highest g.p.a. in the league.
