TERRY MEAGHER
Legendary men's ice hockey coach Terry Meagher totaled an extraordinary number of wins, NESCAC titles, ECAC championships, NCAA tournament appearances, and coaching awards during his 33-year tenure at Bowdoin. However, those accomplishments only hint at the profound impact he had on Bowdoin's athletics program and the generations of student-athletes whom he coached. A standout player at Boston University, he led the Terriers to three NCAA Division I Final Fours and captained the ECAC Champions in his senior season of 1975–1976. Meagher took over the Bowdoin men's ice hockey program as head coach in 1983, succeeding Bowdoin icon Sid Watson, whose 326 wins were, at the time, the most in the history of the College. He proceeded to eclipse that total, winning 542 games, three NESCAC titles and two ECAC crowns, and qualifying for the NCAA Tournament six times. He was honored three times as New England Coach of the Year, and twice, in 1986 and 1989, received the highest honor in collegiate hockey, the Edward Jeremiah Memorial Trophy by the American Hockey Coaches Association as the National College Division Coach of the Year
 
DANNY CISNEROS '84
One of the most skilled and accomplished goalkeepers in the history of the Bowdoin men's lacrosse program, Danny Cisneros was celebrated even more by teammates, classmates, and friends for his leadership, strength of character, sense of purpose and passion, and generosity. A native of Colorado, Cisneros led the Kent Denver School to forty-three wins and only four losses, reaching the state championship game all four years and winning the title twice. At Bowdoin, he anchored a team that won three ECAC championships in four years, and his individual accomplishments were remarkable: Cisneros ranks fourth all-time at Bowdoin in single-season save percentage (.716), fifth in career save percentage (.683), third in single-season goals-against average (5.65), fourth in career goals-against average (6.79), tied for ninth for most wins in a season (12), and tenth for career saves (477). In 1983 and 1984, his junior and senior seasons, he was named a Division III All-American. After Bowdoin, Cisneros moved back to Colorado, where he shared his skill and expertise with student-athletes, coaching at the University of Denver, the Kent Denver School, Mullen High School, and Regis University.
 
DEE SPAGNUOLO '96
A three-sport athlete and trustee of the College, Diana "Dee" Spagnuolo was one of the most accomplished multisport athletes and leaders in the history of Bowdoin Athletics. A captain of the field hockey, women's ice hockey, and softball teams, her most notable achievements came in field hockey, where she built a legacy as one of the program's most accomplished goalkeepers. Upon graduation, Spagnuolo held a remarkable eight individual records, including career and single-season saves and shutouts, single-season saves, and career and single-season save percentage. In three of those categories—saves in a season (166), career save percentage (.925), and single-season save percentage (.938)—she remains the standard bearer to this day. In 1995, the year she led the team to the ECAC title, Spagnuolo was named a Division III All-American. A successful attorney and member of the Management Committee of a renowned national law firm, Spagnuolo has devoted much of her time and professional expertise to pro bono work. She has been a champion of equal rights for women, most notably in a case in 2017 in which she represented the US Women's National Hockey Team in a fight for equitable treatment from USA Hockey, the team's governing body. Immediately after securing favorable terms for the players, that team avoided a boycott and went on to win the world championship.
 
KRISTIN HANCZOR '12
Kristin Hanczor was the most dominant player in the history of women's volleyball at Bowdoin and lifted the program to new heights while rewriting the individual and team record books in the process. Her arrival at Bowdoin ushered in a new era for the volleyball program, improving the team's record from 17-17 to 27-3 over four years, including a historic undefeated 10-0 NESCAC conference record her senior year. As captain of the team in both her junior and senior seasons, Hanczor's prowess at the net was legendary, as she accumulated a school-record 401 career blocks. Most important, however, was leading Bowdoin to its first-ever NESCAC championship in 2011, followed by its first-ever berth in the NCAA tournament and a first-ever tournament victory. That year, Hanczor was named NESCAC Player of the Year and was selected as a NCAA Division III All-American, the first Bowdoin volleyball player ever to receive either of those honors. She returned to Bowdoin as an assistant coach in 2014 and 2015, helping to sustain the team's success during a transitional period, and working as an advocate for sustainability in athletics as Bowdoin's Sustainability Outreach Coordinator. In those two years, the Polar Bears posted records of 23-9 and 26-5, as well as a NESCAC championship in 2015 and an unprecedented run to the NCAA Division III quarterfinals.
 
STEPHEN SULLIVAN '11
OSCAR PENA '12
Each an extraordinarily accomplished tennis player, together Oscar Pena and Stephen Sullivan formed an incomparable doubles team that reached the pinnacle of the sport for the first time in the history of the Bowdoin tennis program. Both achieved remarkable success over four years at Bowdoin, leading the men's tennis teams to NCAA tournament appearances three times each. Sullivan was an NCAA national semifinalist and quarterfinalist in men's singles and led the team to the NESCAC Championship in 2008 and remains in the top five in Bowdoin men's tennis history for career doubles wins and in the top ten for career singles wins. Pena was an NCAA national runner-up in doubles and remains in Bowdoin's top ten all time for doubles wins in a season. Each was selected as an NCAA Division III All-American three times. But it was as a partnership that the duo achieved their most historic success. In the 2011 NCAA Division III men's tennis tournament, the pair rolled through the doubles bracket, capping the run with a straight-set victory over a team from Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, the hosts of the tournament, to capture Bowdoin's first-ever national title in tennis. The groundbreaking triumph was a victory that brought the Polar Bear men's tennis program to a previously unseen level of success and paved the way for sustained excellence and multiple future national titles.
 
NICK FIGUEIREDO '08 (selected as part of the Class of 2020, will be inducted this year)
Nicholas L. Figueiredo, of the Class of 2008, was the most prolific offensive player in the history of the Bowdoin men's soccer program, leading the Polar Bears to an extraordinary forty wins (against only nineteen losses and three ties) in his record-breaking career. To this day, Figueiredo's all-time Bowdoin men's soccer record for career goals (35) still stands. A testament to his all-around game, he also remains first in school history for single-season assists (11 in 2007) and career points (88). His extraordinary performance throughout his senior year garnered him NESCAC Player of the Year, as well as NCAA Division III First Team All-American honors. He was also named an NCAA Division III Second Team All-American in 2006 and was named to the All-New England First Team and All-NESCAC First Team three times each. At the conclusion of his senior year, the Bowdoin Athletic Department honored him as the College's Outstanding Male Athlete.
