ANNAPOLIS, Md.-- The United States Naval Academy announced its major athletic award winners Thursday afternoon at the annual Prizes and Awards Ceremony at Alumni Hall.

Joseph Greenspan (Westfield, N.J.), a member of the men's soccer team, was awarded the NAAA Sword for Men, which is presented to that man of the graduating class who is considered by the Association's Athletic Council to have personally excelled in men's athletics during his years of varsity competition.

Greenspan is one of the most decorated player in the history of Navy men's soccer, earning All-America honors as both a junior and senior and leading the Mids to the school's first NCAA tournament win in 42 years in 2013.

Greenspan was a four-year starter for Navy and appeared in a school record 78 games, which included 75 career starts. Over the last two seasons, he led Navy to a 27-8-7 record.

As a junior, Greenspan led Navy to a 16-4-2 record and a 9-0 mark in the Patriot League as Navy won the Patriot League Regular Season and Tournament Championships. The Mids defeated VCU, 3-0, in the NCAA first round to earn their first NCAA Tournament win since 1971. Greenspan was named a Third Team All-American by both the NSCAA and by College Soccer News as well as being named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year. As a center back, he helped Navy rank 15th in the nation in goals-against average (0.70), while posting a school record 11 shutouts. The Mids finished the year ranked 25th in the country.

As a senior, Greenspan helped Navy to an 11-4-5 overall record. Navy spent three weeks ranked in the NSCAA Top 25 and defeated two Top 25 teams in Maryland and American. He was named a First-Team All-American by College Soccer News, Top Drawer and by the NSCAA. Greenspan was a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy, which is the college soccer version of the Heisman Trophy, and was named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year. He was drafted in the second round by the Colorado Rapids in the MLS Super Draft.

Greenspan is just the eighth soccer player to win the sword in the 124-year history of the award and is just the third person to win it with soccer as his lone sport joining Brian Steckroth ('02) and John Meehan ('59). Five others played multiple sports with soccer being one of them.

The other three nominees for the NAAA Sword for Men were Calvin Mark (Men's Tennis), Worth Smith (Men's Basketball) and Jake Zuzek (Football).

Jade Seabrook (St. Paris, Ohio) of the women's soccer team was awarded the Vice Admiral Lawrence Sword for Women, which is presented to that woman of the graduating class who is considered by the Association's Athletic Council to have personally excelled in women's athletics during her years of varsity competition.

Seabrook will go down as the most decorated soccer player, male or female, in the history of the Patriot League as she is the only person in the sport of soccer to be named Patriot League Player of the Year on three different occasions (she was Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year in 2012, 2013 and 2014). Seabrook is also just the third two-time Division I All-American in the history of women's athletics at Navy and is the first to do it in a team sport.

Seabrook was on the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List (Top 35 players in the country) both her junior and senior campaigns and finished her career playing in 80 games with 62 career starts and scoring eight goals and handing out seven assists as a defender.

Seabrook led the Mids to an incredible 60-17-9 record, including a 24-4-4 mark in the Patriot League, as the Mids won the Patriot League regular season title twice (2012 and 2013).

Seabrook is the fifth women's soccer player to win the award in the last 17 years and the first since Meggie Curran in 2007.

Other nominees for the award included Katherine Quinn (Rowing), Mary Hall (Intercollegiate Sailing) and Loren Generi (Women's Lacrosse).

Luke Gillingham (Coronado, Calif.) of the baseball team won the Thompson Trophy Cup, which is presented to that midshipman, male or female, who has done the most during the year to promote athletics at the Naval Academy.

Gillingham helped lead Navy to a school record 37 wins and a Patriot League regular season title in 2015 with one of the best pitching seasons in school history going 8-1 with a 1.19 ERA with 111 strikeouts in 83 1/3 innings pitched. He allowed just 44 hits with just 14 walks giving him a phenomenal WHIP of 0.70. Gillingham was at his best on the road, allowing just one unearned run in 28 1/3 innings.

Gillingham is currently ranked second in the country in WHIP, fourth in hits allowed per nine innings, fifth in earned run average and fifth in strikeouts per nine innings. He is one of just two Navy pitchers since 1970 to post a sub-1.50.

Gillingham is a semifinalist for two national player of the year awards, the USA Baseball's Golden Spikes Award and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association's Dick Howser Trophy. He is also under consideration for the National College Baseball Hall of Fame's National Pitcher of the Year Award. He was the unanimous selection for Patriot League Pitcher of the Year and was a four-time winner of the Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week award.

Gillingham is the 23rd baseball player to win the Thompson Trophy in the 128-year history of the award, but is just the third baseball player to only play that sport. The other 20 players were dual sport athletes. Gillingham is the first baseball player to win the award since current St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Mitch Harris won it in 2007.

Other nominees for the award included Keenan Reynolds (Football), Calvin Mark (Men's Tennis), Kevin Alter (Men's Basketball), Thomas Patterson (Water Polo) and Joe Hampton (Sprint Football)

Peyton Walsh (Glen Allen, Va.) of the wrestling team was awarded the men's Coaches' Calvert Award, which recognizes a graduating varsity letterwinner who displayed leadership, consistent effort, loyalty and dedication to the sport and who has taken their abilities beyond the expectations of the coach, peers and themselves.

A three-time NCAA qualifier, Walsh concluded his wrestling career ranked 10th on the Mids' career wins list with a 108-47 record. Forty of those wins came this season when he became just the sixth overall and fifth different wrestler in program history to win 40 matches in a season. Boasting a 40-10 record, the 40 wins set a school record for the most at the 165-pound weight class. Unable to compete in the 2014 EIWA Championship due to an injury, Walsh came back to win the 2015 EIWA title at 165 pounds as the top seed. Respected by his peers, not only did Walsh serve as captain of the wrestling team this season, he was also voted the Captain of the captains among Navy's 33 varsity sports.

Walsh is the sixth wrestler to win the Calvert Award in the 43-year history of the award and is the second wrestler to win it in the last three years as Oscar Huntley won the award in 2013.

Christina Blair (Peninsula, Ohio) of the women's cross country and track & field teams was awarded the women's Coaches' Calvert Award, which recognizes a graduating varsity letterwinner who displayed leadership, consistent effort, loyalty and dedication to the sport and who has taken their abilities beyond the expectations of the coach, peers and themselves.

In cross country, Blair helped Navy defeat Army in all four meetings as she finished in the top 12 in all four meets. She placed a career-best 18th at the 2014 Patriot League Championship.

In track & field, she guided Navy to six star meet victories over Army (three indoor and three outdoor) in eight competitions. She grabbed third place in the 3,000 meter steeplechase at the 2015 Patriot League Outdoor Championship and won the individual crown in the 3,000 meter steeplechase at both the 2014 and 2015 Army-Navy Outdoor meet. She placed third in the 3000 meter steeplechase at the 2014 Patriot League Outdoor Championship with a career-best mark of 10:46.28.

Blair is the seventh cross country/track athlete to garner the Calvert in the 26-year history of the award and the first since Maureen Dooley in 2009.
