ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell seniors Kyle Dake, Laura Fortino, Rob Pannell and Lauriane Rougeau shared the Charles H. Moore Outstanding Senior Varsity Athlete Award on Wednesday evening at the school's annual senior athletics banquet. Nico Nissl and Beverly Yang both earned the Ronald P. Lynch Senior Spirit Award, given to student-athletes whose leadership on and off the field models the ideals of the Big Red athletics department. Katie Kellner and Jason Noble were recognized with the Mario St. George Boiardi '04 Leadership Award for most embodying leadership, athleticism and a strong work ethic.

Dake became the first NCAA wrestler to win national titles in four different weight classes and the third to win four in a career at any weight class, as well as the first to win four national titles without taking a redshirt season. The 2013 Hodge Award winner as the national Wrestler of the Year was a three-time EIWA Wrestler of the Year. The Outstanding Wrestler of the NCAA tournament in 2013, Dake is the third Cornell wrestler to capture the Hodge Award and the first since Dave Auble in 1960. He wrapped up his amazing career with a 137-4 record, including victories in his final 79 collegiate matches. He went a perfect 37-0 at 165 pounds in his final season, knocking off 2012 Hodge Award winner David Taylor of Penn State in the final. Dake is one of five candidates for the inaugural Sports Illustrated College Athlete of the Year. He was named EIWA and Ivy League Wrestler of the Year in 2013. Off the mat, Dake is a member of the Quill & Dagger Senior Honor Society and is a four-time NWCA Scholastic All-American.

Fortino and Rougeau were mostly a package deal as two of the top defensemen in the history of college hockey and arguably the most decorated tandem. Fortino, a three-time first-team All-American, and Rougeau, a four-time second-team All-American, anchored a defense that helped the Big Red to four consecutive Ivy League and ECAC Hockey regular season titles, three ECAC Hockey tournament crowns, four NCAA tournament appearances and three Frozen Fours. Rougeau served as the team's captain last season while Fortino was an assistant captain. Fortino was the 2011 Ivy League Player of the Year and a three-time first-team All-Ivy and All-ECAC Hockey pick. A three-time Patty Kazmaier Award nominee, she was a finalist in both 2011 and 2012. Rougeau was named ECAC Hockey's Best Defensive Defenseman in each of her final three seasons after being named Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2010. She was a four-time first-team All-ECAC pick and a three-time first-team All-Ivy selection as well as a four-time Kazmaier Award nominee. She is a member of Quill & Dagger Senior Honor Society.

Pannell became the first-ever three-time Ivy League Player of the Year in men's lacrosse and just the fourth player in the history of Division I college lacrosse to be named conference player of the year three times during their career. He is also just one of four players in Ivy history to be named first-team all-league four times. The conference's all-time leader in career points, Pannell is a two-time Tewaaraton Trophy finalist. He owns the Cornell record for career points (347) and career assists (202), having registered at least one point in a school record 71 consecutive contests. Pannell is one of just eight players in the history of Division I men's lacrosse to register more than 300 career points and currently ranks second all-time, needing just six more points to match the all-time record. A three-year captain, Pannell has led his team to a 56-15 overall record (21-3 Ivy League), four Ivy League titles, three Final Four appearances and a spot in the 2009 national championship game.

Nissl captained the men's soccer team to an Ivy League title, the program's first since 1995 and its first outright since 1977. It also capped an impressive turnaround during Nissl's career. The year prior to his arrival, Cornell went 1-15 and was winless in Ivy League play (0-7). Over the past two years, the Big Red has gone 23-4-6 (9-2-3 Ivy), including a 15-2-0 mark and a 6-1 conference record in 2012. An excellent distributor from his midfield position, he led the team with eight assists and ranked fourth in scoring with 10 points while starting all 17 games. A member of the Red Key Athletic Honor Society and of the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) , Nissl earned the team's John Penniman Award for excellence in personal discipline and character and the Peter Pakeman VIP Award for the graduating senior for versatility, impact and performance. He was a four-year member of the program's leadership council, the 2011 recipient of the team's strength and conditioning award and was twice on the school's Wall of Honor for strength and conditioning. Nissl was part of a number of community service initiatives, including with DeWitt Middle School's mentoring program, the Haiti support soccer clinic, the Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer awareness campaign, Cornell's Adopt-A-Family and the Field Day for kids in the local community through Red Key.

A four-year starter with the saber, Yang posted a career record of 156-82 and was named the team's MVP as a senior. She placed a team-best 14th at the 2013 NCAA Northeast Regional as a senior and placed as high as eighth at regionals in 2010, one of two top 10 finishes at the event. She was an NCAA qualifier as a freshman. A two-year team captain, Yang was active in the Student-Athlete Advisory Council where she was instrumental in the revival of the Cornell Cup. A member of the Red Key Athletic Honor Society, she represented the team on the President's Council of Cornell Women. In addition, she posted a 3.4 grade point average in the College of Engineering in addition to her activities as a student-athlete.

Kellner's efforts for the cross country and track and field teams was nothing short of inspiring, particularly as a senior. To maximize her team's ability to score points at the 2013 Outdoor Heptagonal Championship, Kellner ran the 3,000 (fifth), 5,000 (second) and 10,000 (first) meter races in two days, running the equivalent of nearly 11 miles. She was instrumental in helping her teams win a total of five Heps crowns (two cross country, three outdoor track and field), winning three individual championships along the way (10K in 2012 and 2013 outdoor, cross country in 2012). A two-time All-American, she became the first Cornellian to win an individual cross country Heps crown since 1994 and helped the team to consecutive league titles, including the program's first in 13 years when the squad won in 2011. A two-time first-team All-Ivy cross country runner, she is the school record holder in the 10K with a mark that ranks fifth all-time in Ivy history. She is also ranked second all-time at Cornell in the indoor and outdoor 5K and ranked third in both the indoor and outdoor 3K. Off the track, the U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier is a member of Cornell's 400 Club, a member of Red Key, a two-time Academic All-Ivy pick and a four-time USTRCCCA All-Academic selection.

Noble is not only a three-time All-American defender for the nationally ranked men's lacrosse team, he is also a role model off the field. One of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award for notable achievements in the areas of community, classroom, character and competition, he was recently named one of 10 finalists for the Yeardley Reynolds Love Unsung Hero Award for selfless acts of initiative and commitment in the areas of dedication, integrity, humility, hard work, community service, leadership, kindness and sportsmanship. One of four captains on the 2013 squad, Noble has been involved in a number of community service initiatives, including the 21 Run and the Save the Day 3v3 youth lacrosse tournament. He assisted with the Owego flood relief efforts after one of the worst floods in the area's history. Noble is a member of the Red Key Athletic and Sphinx Head Honor Societies and is the team's representative on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. On the field, Noble ranks among the nation's leaders in caused turnovers and ground balls. He was named Ivy League co-Player of the Week once during the year after holding 2012 Tewaaraton Trophy winner Peter Baum of Colgate to one assist and three shots, none of which were on goal. He was also honored as National Player of the Week by the Baltimore Sun that same week. Noble is a three-time All-Ivy selection, including a two-time first-team pick. His 112 career caused turnovers is third among all active players.
