Oswego State Athletics Hall of Fame
Gerald Vredenburg '68 was the last men's soccer player to earn All-America accolades at Oswego at the time of his induction. He garnered All-America Honorable Mention as a goalie from the NCAA for his efforts during his junior season. Over the course of his career, Vredenburg was also named First Team All-SUNYAC and Second Team All-State.
Vredenburg also holds the distinction of being the goalie on the only Laker men's soccer team to capture the SUNYAC Championship, winning the crown in 1966. The goaltender's 29 saves against Oneonta on Oct. 24, 1967 was the second-most in program history at the time of induction.
After his time at Oswego, Vredenburg taught at the LaFayette Central Schools from 1968-2001, staying heavily involved in athletics. He coached varsity football, boys' basketball, girls' soccer and lacrosse throughout his career and was named the United States Lacrosse Association Central New York Coach of the Year in 1984
