BOSTON – A pair of student-athletes who graduated in December have been named America East Presidential Scholar-Athletes for their outstanding academic achievements throughout their collegiate careers. University at Albany's Martin Gorrie and Stony Brook's Alejandro Fritz, both men's soccer standouts, were recognized with the award.
