Gerry Benaquista anchored the midfield for the Cougars during the early 90s, a very prosperous time in program history.  During his tenure, the team compiled a 52-11 record, capturing two Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) titles.  At the time of his induction, he still owned the school record for groundballs in a season and career and was named the Conference Player of the Year in 2003.  Benaquista was also first-team all-conference award winner in 1991, 1992 and 1993.
