 BIDDEFORD, Maine -- The University of New England held its 2015 Varsity Club Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Friday evening (Sept. 18) at the Harold Alfond Forum on the Biddeford Campus. Men's basketball player Rocco Ferranti (SF '70), field hockey player Taryn Flagg (UNE '10), and the 1993-94 Westbrook College men's basketball team were enshrined during UNE's 11th annual ceremony.

Ferranti was a four-year varsity team member who ended his career with 1,079 points, a figure that ranks him in the Top 25 among St. Francis, UNE and Westbrook College men's basketball players. An All-Naismith Conference performer, Ferranti is the lone St. Francis College alum to have his jersey number retired.

Flagg is the first UNE field hockey player to be selected for induction into the Hall of Fame. Despite missing one season due to injury, Flagg, is the program's career leader in goals scored (51) and points (124). She was voted Commonwealth Coast Conference Rookie of the Year in 2006 and was a three-time all-conference selection.
 
The 1993-94 Westbrook College men's basketball team posted a 30-5 record on its way to winning the Mayflower Conference Championship and earning a bid to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) National Championship. The Wildcats were second in the nation in scoring offense, averaging an astounding 104.8 points per game. Two players from that team -- Paul Peterson and Derek Vogel -- are members of the UNE Hall of Fame, as is head coach Jim Graffam.
