Lehigh hoop awards announced
Dozie Mbonu, shooting, and Bob Krizansky, #32, were both
selected as co-Most Valuable Players on the 1989-90
Engineer basketball team
In seperate banquets this month, the men's and
women's basketball teams honored their players for
outstanding seasons in 1989-90.
Early in April, men's basketball coach Dave Duke
announced that this past season's Most Valuable
Players for his team have been elected co-captains of
the 1990-91 Engineers.
Sophomore forwards Dozie Mbonu of Philadelphia, Pa. (Church Farms School) and Bob Krizansky of
Hazleton, Pa. (Hazleton HS) were announced as co-
MVP's and co-captains.
Six men's players were honored during the dinner.
Neal Fenton (Latrobe, Pa.) was presented with the
Richard Slaff Sportsman Cup for his dedication, hard
work and attitude, Duke said.
Most Improved Player went to sophomore Jay
Hipps (Alexandria, Va.) while Defensive Player of the
Year went to senior Scott Layer (Hatboro, Pa.).
Peter Rudman (Highland Park, 111.) was tabbed as
Most Improved, academically.
Krizansky became only the fourth Lehigh player
ever named to the East Coast Conference first team.
He averaged a team-high 16.6 points per game while
placing second, behind Mbonu, in the ECC rebounding
race with 7.5 boards per contest.
Mbonu was second on the team in scoring, 14.7
ppg, while grabbing 8.1 rebounds each time out. He
was selected to the ECC Second Team and was the
first Engineer ever to lead the conference in rebounding. Both players averaged more than 32 minutes per
game.
Layer, a four-year starter, averaged only 6.4 points
per game this season but averaged 4.3 assists, which
helped him graduate as the all-time assist leader in
Lehigh history. He also shot 50 percent from the field.
Fenton, Hipps and Rudman comprised the heart
of Lehigh's bench, which played a critical role in the
Engineers' success this past season.
Duke was named ECC Coach of the Year—the
first Lehigh mentor to receive that honor-after his
team tied for the conference's regular season title, the
first time in Lehigh
history a men's team had
acheived such a lofty
position in the standings.
Lehigh was picked
seventh in the pre-season
coaches' poll.
During the women's
banquet, held this past
Sunday, senior Sherie
Androlewicz (Turn-
ersville, N.J.) was tabbed
as Most Valuable Player
—^-- while Jeanne Mooney
(Collingswood, N.J.) earned The Coaches Award for
all-around performance on the court and in the
classroom.
Kristen Lambert was selected as Most Improved.
At the conclusion of the dinner, Joe Sterrett,
director of athletics, announced that Lehigh will retire
Androlewicz's number 21 during ceremonies next
year. It will be the first such honor accorded to a
Lehigh women's player. See AWARDS page 2

Hume wins ECAC Award of Valor
Sandy Hume of Whitehouse
Station, N.J., tri-captain of Lehigh University's 1989-90 women's basketball
squad and an East Coast Conference
first-team all-star selection, has been
chosen to receive an Eastern College
Athletic Conference (ECAC) Awarder"-Valor.
She'll be honored during the
annual ECAC fall convention in Hyan-
nis, Mass., at an awards luncheon Oct.
1 in the Terra Hyannis Hotel. Similar
recognition will go to Jeremy Worrell
of Villanova (football and track) and
Tim Day of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (football and baseball).
Hume, a former Group VI all-state
star from Hunterdon Central (NJ.)
High School, overcame two knee
injuries, resultant surgery, and long,
painful periods of rehabilitation to
make a successful return to the court
and earn ECC laurels for the second time.
She was the league's rookie-of-the-year
after her freshman campaign in 1986-87.
In the third game of her sophomore
season she went down with an injury to
her left knee which necessitated arthroscopic surgery and a period of rehabilitation which sidelined her for the balance of
the 1987-88 schedule.
The following spring she re-injured
the knee, more seriously, in a freak
accident at the Jersey shore. This time
there was major reconstructive surgery to
repair ligament and cartilage damage, and
another long and painful period of
rehabilitation. She missed the 1988-89
season.
Finally, three surgeries and two years
later, the 5-10 forward returned to the
court and helped the 1989-90 Engineers
fashion a 21-8 mark in their first full
