PITTSFORD, N.Y. – A combined 65 former and current student-athletes from Case Western Reserve University have been named to University Athletic Association 25th Anniversary Teams in their respective sports.

The teams consist of UAA Most Valuable Players as well as student-athletes that accumulated five or more points with two points awarded for All-Association First Team recognition and one point given for second-team honors.

Spartan football and wrestling produced the most silver anniversary selections, while baseball senior Matt Keen (Tallmadge, Ohio/Tallmadge) and football senior Dan Calabrese (Concord, Ohio/Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin) were the only two current student-athletes to be named to the 25th Anniversary Teams in their respective sports.

Graduate students Dale English (Middleburg Heights, Ohio/Holy Name) in football and Vinny Bell (Parma Heights, Ohio/Valley Forge) in men's soccer competed in sports outside of their 25th Anniversary Teams this academic year.

Of the 65 Spartans named to silver anniversary teams, 27 earned an automatic spot by virtue of being named a UAA MVP during their career.
