Fodor picked up right where he left off after not playing in 2020, the junior was named First-Team All-MAWPC and MAWPC All-Tournament First-Team. On October 9 at the Spiro Sports Center, Fodor found the back of the net 10 times in a 20-11 victory over Mount St. Mary's. The Budapest, Hungary native led the team in goals (124), points (139) and drawn exclusions (122).
Fodor shattered the program record books this season as he passed former Seahawk Jasmin Kolasinac who held the program record in career goals (203) and single season goals (114). With 124 goals this season, Fodor has moved into sole possession atop the record books in both categories as the junior currently stands at 211 career goals for the Green & White.
Along with being named as an Honorable Mention All-American in his first season of competition on Grymes Hill, Gyémánt claimed All-MAWPC second team honors after a stellar season. The Budapest, Hungary native led the Green & White with 74 assists and 15 field blocks while the sophomore was second on the team with 63 goals, 139 points and 180 shots.
The sophomore earned his first MAWPC honor on September 21 when he earned Player of the Week after leading the Green & White to three wins in four contests at the Bison Invitational in Lewisburg, PA. In the four games, Gyémánt found the back of the net 11 times on 25 shots while dishing out 15 assists. On the defensive end of the pool he blocked three shots and tallied one steal.
Fodor and Gyémánt are half of the four All-American's in program history along with Kolasinac (2017) and current head coach
Ciaran Wolohan (2018). The Seahawks concluded the regular season with 17 victories, the second most in program history and a fourth-place finish in the MAWPC Tournament.
