Loreto Barbone

He set the single season record for goals (18) and points (47) in 2003, leading the Storm to the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) regular season and tournament titles for the third straight season. Barbone earned All-NEAC honors and was named MVP of the conference tournament in three straight seasons (2001-2003) and was named NEAC Player of the Year in 2001 and 2002.
In 2003, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America selected Barbone to the All-Northeast Region second team.
Before Barbone arrived on the Keuka campus in 2000, the Storm had posted three consecutive losing seasons. His Keuka teams posted four straight winning campaigns and a 45-25-3 record, including a school best 13 (13-4-0) wins in 2003.

Susanne Lusink Yarnall

Just as her twin sister, Yarnall was a mover and shaker in the years before intercollegiate sports for women became a reality.
A WAA officer and board member, she participated in intramurals, “play days,” the Point Neamo Water Ski Program, crew, and swimming. She also served as sports editor for the Keukonian, Keuka’s student newspaper.
