This year's inductees were: Oliver Alves (Men's Track and Field, 1980-82), Marguerite Ferrell (Women's Soccer, 2002-05), Tom Graziano (Baseball, 1960-62), Andrea Maston (Women's Soccer, 2002-04), Richard Ouma (Men's Track and Field, 1980-83), Sergio Riquelme (Men's Soccer, 2000-03) and the 1989 Women's Volleyball team.
 
Interim Director of Athletics Cathy Liggett opened the festivities by welcoming a crowd of over 100 attendees to the ceremony, and Metropolitan Campus Executive Craig Mourton also addressed the audience at the beginning of the event.
 
Highlights of the evening included memorable speeches by both presenters and the inductees, as well as the presentation of the 10th annual Al LoBalbo Award. This year's recipient was longtime NBA coach and television analyst Mike Fratello, nicknamed "The Czar of the Telestrator."
 
Fratello, a Hackensack, N.J., native and graduate of Hackensack High School, won 667 games over 16 seasons as a head coach in the NBA from 1983-2007, coaching the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Memphis Grizzlies. He also coached at the collegiate level (Rhode Island, James Madison and Villanova) and internationally, guiding the Ukrainian National Team in the FIBA World Cup Championships in 2014. Fratello transitioned after coaching to working as a television analyst for TNT, NBATV and YES sports, where he earned a New York Emmy in 2015 for his work as an analyst for the Brooklyn Nets.
 
Alves starred for FDU's track and field program in the early 1980s, helping lead the team to a sixth-place finish at the 1980 NCAA Championships with a fifth-place finish in the 500-meter event. He also helped FDU to the 1982 IC4A Championship and is still FDU's record-holder as part of both the 4x400 meter relay (3:09.00) and the distance medley relay (9:40.5) record runs.
 
Ferrell ranked second all-time in career goals (19) and points (45) in FDU women's soccer history upon graduation. Her eight goals in her senior season (2005) are the fifth-highest totalin program history and helped her to earn All-Northeast Conference First Team honors. Over her career, she won 21 NEC games (.632 winning percentage) and helped FDU claim the NEC regular season title in 2004, the first in program history.
 
Nicknamed "Rocky" by his teammates, Graziano was a two-time Collegiate Baseball League All-Star as a middle infielder. As a freshman in 1960, Graziano batted .300 with 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, five stolen bases and a team-high four doubles. The following year, he set the NCAA single-season record for stolen bases with 31 thefts in 1961. He hit .366 and scored 32 runs that season, then followed that year with a .320 average, 19 stolen bases and 12 RBI in 1962.
 
Maston was a two-time All-NEC performer as the Knights' goalkeeper from 2002-04, earning first team honors in 2004 and second team recognition in 2002. She currently ranks second in FDU history in save percentage (.768) and held the record for most career saves (207) at time of graduation. Her 10 career shutouts are the third-most by a Knight as well. Maston helped the Knights finish 7-2-1 in league play with a 1.02 goals-against-average, a program record, in 2002, and her combined record in her two all-conference years was 13-2-4.
 
Ouma competed in four NCAA Championships for the Knights from 1980-85. He still holds two FDU records, running an outdoor 800-meter race in 1:46.56 in 1980 and a year later won the IC4A indoor championship in the 800-meter race with a record time of 1:48.55 in 1981. He was also the IC4A indoor champion in the outdoor 800-meter race in 1981 (1:48.38) and was a member of FDU's IC4A championship 1600-meter winning relay team (3:06.19). Ouma additionally is part of three relay team records, including the outdoor 4x400 relay (3:06.19), the indoor 4x400 relay (3:09.00) and the indoor 4x800 relay (7:28.37).
 
A champion every year he competed for the Knights, Riquelme is the only men's soccer player in NEC history to start and win four NEC title games. As a center back, he was the guiding force on a Knight team that advanced all the way to the NCAA Elite 8 in 2001, and that team finished the year ranked 11th in the nation. He also helped the Knights make the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2002 and served as a team captain in his senior season. Riquelme was a part of 55 wins with the Knights, with a career winning percentage of nearly 67 percent.
 
The 1989 women's volleyball season is the best in FDU volleyball history, with the team going 40-13 on their way to the program's third-straight NEC championship victory. The Knights were a perfect 6-0 in NEC matches that season, winning 14 of 15 individual sets in those matches. The team, coached by FDU hall of famer Russ Robinson, earned a bid to the first-ever National Invitation Volleyball Tournament that season. The 40 wins represents the program record for FDU in a single season.
 
Members of the team include: Julie Brito, Rory Brown, Marie Claire Buccola, Laurel Dalessio, Barbara Esposito, Stacey Maat-Recanati (FDU Hall of Fame Class of 2000), Theresa Mello, Janine Moshier, Cathy Pierre-Louis (FDU Hall of Fame Class of 2002), Amy Scrivanich and Kristin Straiter.
