Petti Male Scholar-Athlete Award for having the highest grade point average among all male student-athletes at Stonehill for the 2016-17 academic year.

Golden Performance
For the second time in three weeks, a Stonehill sophomore is being feted as the Jack Grinold Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of the National Football Foundation's Division II/III Gold Helmet Award recipient, as selected by the New England Football Writers. Sophomore wide receiver Andrew Jamiel (Yarmouth, Mass.) joins running back and classmate Brian Kearns, Jr. (North Arlington, N.J.), who earned the honors following the Skyhawks 41-35 overtime win against rival Bentley two weeks ago. It marks the third time Stonehill has had two Gold Helmet recipients in the same season, with teammates Matt Foltz (Mount Joy, Pa.) and Donovan Phanor (Portsmouth, N.H.) achieving the feat in 2015, and Tony Dello Iacono '95 and Mike McLucas '95 doing so in 1994. Jamiel broke one Northeast-10 record and matched another in leading the Skyhawks to a 56-30 win over Pace on Saturday. He matched his own program record with 18 receptions for an NE10 record 294 yards and an NE10 and program record matching five touchdowns. Kearns Jr. led a Stonehill rushing attack that piled up 327 yards against Bentley, finishing with a career-high 243 yards on a career-best 34 carries (7.1 yards/att) and two touchdowns. Jamiel earns the 11th weekly Gold Helmet in Stonehill football history and is the first wide receiver to be honored.
