Additionally, Caliendo was named to the conference's sportsmanship team, while a Centennial Conference-leading total of eight Haverford student-athletes were named to the Centennial Conference Academic Honor Roll.
In the midfield, Geppert led Haverford in all the major offensive categories, including goals (25), assists (8), points (33), shots (99), shots on goal (58), and man-up goals (4). The senior captain also ranked third on the team with 33 ground balls and caused six turnovers during the 2015 season. Geppert scored in 11 of Haverford's 14 games on the season. His highest goal output came during Haverford's 18-6 victory against Mount St. Mary in which he scored five goals.

He added two assists in the 14-8 win against Swarthmore to close the year with a season-high six points.
A three-year starter in goal for the Fords, Caliendo played every minute as the anchor of the Haverford defense during the 2015 season. The Haverford junior stopped 53.9-percent of the shots on goal he faced during the season, compiling 159 saves throughout his 14 games in net.
