SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University Department of Athletics named seniors Bre White (field hockey) and Pat Kregeloh (baseball) as its 2013-14 Student-Athletes of the Year on Mon., April 28 at a dinner held at the Martin House.

Kregeloh is the first-ever back-to-back winner of an SU Student-Athlete of the Year award and is the first two-time winner of the SU Male Student-Athlete of the Year award. He joins former women's basketball standout Lauren Beckley '10 (2008 and 2010) as the only two-time SU Student-Athlete of the Year winners.
 
An exercise science major with a 3.6 cumulative GPA, Kregeloh earned a Board of Governors Scholarship and last year was named to the PSAC Spring Top 10 squad. His hard work in the classroom resulted in him earning a spot on the 2013 Capital One Academic All-America Third Team and becoming SU's first baseball Academic All-America since 1995.
 
Kregeloh has worked with youth players both at Shippensburg and with his summer teams in Missouri and West Virginia. He participated in the team's Vs. Cancer fundraiser as the Raiders raised money for the Pediatric Cancer Institute of the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
 
In addition to his Academic All-America selection, Kregeloh was also named an ABCA Third Team All-American and a Daktronics Second Team All-American last season after a campaign in which he led the PSAC with nine home runs and 60 RBIs – the latter of which was one shy of tying the school single-season record.
 
An All-PSAC East First team pick, Kregeloh was selected by three different publications as an All-Atlantic Region First Teamer as he batted .355 and also led the Raiders in hits (66), slugging (.591), pitching wins (9), ERA among starters (3.47) and strikeouts (68).
 
A watch list selection for this season's Tino Martinez Division II Player of the Year Award and an NCBWA Preseason First Team All-American, Kregeloh has once again put together a strong season both at the plate and on the mound as he leads the team with 27 RBIs and ranks second in the PSAC with eight home runs. Kregeloh is 3-3 on the mound with a 3.00 ERA and team highs of four complete games and 57 strikeouts.
 
White is a social work major with a 3.62 cumulative GPA who was a Dean's List honoree and was named to the NFHCA All-Academic Team. White volunteers at the soup kitchen in Shippensburg and with the local Big Buddy program. She also volunteers for the Jump for Heart program for the Chambersburg Area School District and at the Shippensburg Area Intermediate School Winter Fest.
 
A team captain last season, White led the Raiders to the school's first-ever team NCAA championship as she was named the NFHCA Division II Player of the Year, the NFHCA Division II South Region Player of the Year and the PSAC Player of the Year. White was also an All-PSAC First Team selection and an NFHCA Division II First Team All-American.
 
White was the team's top point-scorer with 41 points, good for third-most in the PSAC last season. She also led SU and ranked tied for second in the PSAC with 11 assists while her 15 goals were second-most on the team. Her five game-winning goals were tied for the most in the conference.
 
The senior was particularly clutch in the playoffs as she converted a title-winning penalty stroke in sudden-death overtime in the national title game victory over LIU Post – just two days after scoring the game-clinching goal against Millersville in a national semifinal victory.
 
A third award was handed out on Monday night. In recognition of his dedication and continued support of Raider athletics, Nick Iula was named the Raider of the Year. Iula, who serves as the Resident District Manager of Chartwell's and the director of Shippensburg University Dining Services, has been an avid supporter of student-athletes, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and Tau Kappa Athletics Honor Sorority.
 
Iula has initiated recognition lunches on behalf of the sports programs and promoted the overall success of the athletics department. Furthermore, he has contributed to athletics-sponsored community service events and hosted an etiquette dinner on behalf of the department to help promote professional development of student-athletes. 
 
The Raider of the Year award is to commemorate individuals who provide genuine support to the athletics department and work toward the betterment of all the intercollegiate athletic teams on campus, among other qualities.
 
The selection process for the 2013-14 SU Student-Athlete of the Year awards was based on achievements in academics, leadership, sportsmanship, community service and athletics.
