An exceptional two-sport athlete, Andrew D’Eloia is one of the top scorers in the history of Hobart basketball and was a tenacious long-stick midfielder in lacrosse.
The winner of the 1995 Francis L. “Babe” Kraus ‘24 Memorial Award as Hobart’s most outstanding senior athlete, D’Eloia was a two-time recipient of the basketball team’s Butler-Ford Award as MVP and the 1995 Lt. John Vandeverg ’50 Memorial Award as the lacrosse team’s most improved.
A captain on the basketball court, D’Eloia enjoyed a spectacular senior season that culminated with Division III News honorable mention All-American honors, NABC All-East accolades, and the Empire Athletic Association Player of the Year Award. The four-year letterman also earned the Rookie and Emblem Awards for Basketball. When he graduated, he was second on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,587 points and free throws made with 380. D’Eloia was an exceptional marksman from beyond the 3-point arc, graduating with the records for 3-pointers made in a game (10 vs. Rochester on Feb. 14, 1995), season (77 in 1994-95), and career (193). He currently ranks in the top 10 in 12 different career statistical categories for Hobart basketball.
On the lacrosse field, D’Eloia was a solid defender and a threat to score in transition. He recorded six goals and seven assists to go with 93 ground balls in 30 career games. D’Eloia was a member of the 1993 National Champion run and played a greater role in the Hobart defense as the Statesmen returned to the title game in 1994.
