Panas ’15 Makes MAAC History

Canisius baseball standout Connor Panas has been named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Male Student-Athlete of the Year in a vote of the league’s sports information directors. Panas, who also won this award after the 2013-14 academic year, is just the third male in conference history to earn the honor in back-to-back years.

“Being named MAAC Student-Athlete of the Year for a second consecutive year is truly an outstanding accomplishment for Connor and the Canisius community is exceptionally proud to have him as a Golden Grifffin alumnus,” said Canisius Director of Athletics Bill Maher. “Knowing the effort that Connor put into his academic and athletic career at Canisius, this recognition has defined a new level of achievement that all of our student-athletes can now strive to achieve. I cannot think of a finer representative for all that Canisius College stands for than Connor Panas.”
