Our 2026 Massachusetts Maritime Academy Alumni Association Male Athlete of the Year is Men's lacrosse's Dan Kane!

Kane tallied 141 goals and 126 with two 40+ goal seasons. He was the cornerstone of the Buc offense, helping them to not only their first LEC Championship but also their first NCAA Tournament berth in program and school history. In 2026, he was named LEC Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year as well as a spot on the All-LEC First Team, a NEILA All-Region nod and spots in the USILA All-Star Game at Randolph Macon in Virginia and the NEILA All-Star Game at Trinity in Connecticut.

The Robert E. Corradi Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Service Award, named after the Academies longest Tenured Director of Athletics, is awarded to a senior student-athlete who has provided valuable contributions and service to Buccaneer Athletics and our Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Football's Aidan Howard was presented with the Award for his efforts this year as the Regimental Athletics Officer, and throughout his time in Buzzards Bay, for coordinating student sections at games, including men's soccer's playoff game against Westfield State, men's lacrosse's playoff game against UMass Boston, and for the men's lacrosse NCAA Tournament game against Husson. He was instrumental in assisting with collecting and counting items for our food and toy drives in the fall and was a part of bettering the student-athlete experience at Maritime through his efforts with SAAC, including but not limited to attending the MASCAC SAAC meeting in December.

Congratulations, Aidan, and thank you for all you did for your fellow cadets!

The Elaine Wallace Alumni Award, named for longtime Buccaneer Softball and Athletics Benefactor, and 2026 MMA Athletics Hall of Fame Inductee Elaine Wallace, is presented annually to a senior student-athlete who exemplifies Elaine's pride and dedication to Buccaneer Athletics. Mrs. Wallace had two daughters who were Student-athletes at the Academy, and her pride and dedication to our athletics programs and the Maritime community are unmatched.

This year, we were proud to present this award to softball's Hannah Burton. Hannah was a steady presence for her team each of her four years in a Buccaneer uniform, driving the program and her teammates forward regardless of the result on the field. Though she may not have received the postseason accolades she deserved for her consistent performance on the field, she was always excelling in every facet of the game for herself and most importantly the team.

Congratulations Hannah on everything you accomplished at Mass. Maritime on and off the field.
