Six More All-time Greats Headed to SU Sports Hall of Fame

SELINSGROVE, Pa., Oct. 30 -- Susquehanna University will induct six all-time greats into the SU Sports Hall of Fame at an on-campus ceremony on February 20, 2010.

Craig Harper '92 (men's basketball), Cassie Henry '96 Rumbaugh (field hockey/women's lacrosse), Matt Fenstermacher '01 (men's track & field/football), Sandy Jenkin '99 (women's lacrosse/basketball), Chris Rembisz-Bryan '95 (baseball) and Jack Burns ("Voice of the Crusaders") are the newest inductees.

Harper was a four-year varsity letterwinner and a team captain in his senior year when he earned the Middle Atlantic Conference's Northern Division MVP award. He helped the Crusaders win the MAC Northern and reach the NCAA championships twice each during his career and led the team in scoring in his junior and senior seasons.

He was a two-time first-team all-MAC player and SU's 1992 Blair M. Heaton Award winner. His 1,373 career points ranked eighth in program history at the time of selection.

Henry earned four varsity letters in both field hockey and lacrosse while gaining all-MAC honors in both sports. She shared SU's Connie N. Harnum Award in 1997 after helping the Crusaders to their only MAC field hockey championship in school history and first NCAA championships berth in the sport as well.

Fenstermacher dominated MAC track & field's long and triple jump events during his career. He won four MAC individual outdoor championships (long and triple jump twice each) and six individual indoor championships (long jump all four years and triple jump twice). At the time of selection, he still held SU's indoor and outdoor long jump records and ranked in the top five in three sprinting events. He helped the Crusaders win MAC outdoor team titles in 1997 and 1998.

He also played one year of varsity football, helping SU to a 7-3 record in 2000 by making 10 catches, including a touchdown, and returning kicks for a team-high 19.9-yard average.

Jenkin was a four-time all-MAC lacrosse player who still ranked in the top five in program history in both career goals and points at the time of selection. She scored 39 goals in her junior year--then a school record--before scoring another 40 her senior year.

Also an accomplished basketball player, she averaged 8.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game for the 1998-99 SU team, which was invited to the NCAA championships.

Rembisz-Bryan was a three-time all-MAC selection and two-time all-region honoree who helped Susquehanna qualify for the NCAA championships twice in four years, including 1995 when the team won its only conference championship in program history. He led the Crusaders in batting average in that 1995 season when he hit .404 with 10 doubles, three triples, three homeruns, 35 runs and 29 runs batted in.

At the time of selection, he still ranked in the top six in program history in career hits (150), doubles (31), HR (14), runs (97) and RBI (96).

The 2009-10 academic year marks Burns' 21st seasons as the radio play-by-play commentator for Susquehanna football and men's and women's basketball. Active at the time of selection, the "Voice of the Crusaders" has been known for his distinctive tone, dedicated preparation, constant professionalism and reliability. He has been behind the microphone for some of the greatest sports moments in the university's history.

He was won multiple Associated Press awards for his play-by-play and is the first-ever SU Sports Hall of Famer selected as a media member.
