Sacred Heart University Executive Director of Athletics Bobby Valentine has been named the ECAC Division I Administrator of the Year. He will be recognized at the organization’s annual event Thursday night in Danbury “I am honored to accept this award on behalf of the student-athletes, coaches and staff of Sacred Heart athletics,” Valentine said in a statement. “The dedication and commitment of all of our Pioneers is heart warming. It is a pleasure to be associated with these fine men and women and I thank the ECAC for recognizing the accomplishments of SHU Athletics.” SHU had a banner year in 2015-16, winning the Northeast Conference Triple Crown. The Pioneers captured a record sixth Brenda Weare Commissioner’s Cup and became the first school in league history to pair that honor with the NEC Institutional Academic Award. SHU student-athletes combined for a 3.31 GPA during the 2016-17 season to win the award for top GPA in the league for the second consecutive year. Seventy-five percent of the athletic department surpassed a 3.0 GPA during the season, with 31 teams posting a team GPA of over 3.0. – ctpost.com– Read More
