IUP has named the first winners in the newly established Crimson and Gray Awards, which recognizes the top athletes, coaches, teams and performances of this past season.
Baseball coach Anthony Rebyanski and women’s tennis coach Larry Peterson are the first recipients.
Rebyanski led the baseball team to its first post-season play since 2010, and the 18 PSAC wins were the most since that same year. The 22 wins were the most for a first-year coach in IUP history.
Peterson led the tennis team to its first ever PSAC Championship as they finished at 20-6 and a final rankings of 37th in the nation.
They also won the Atlantic Region Championship and advanced to a 7th straight appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs.
