Greening Adds Another Honor

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell senior Colin Greening earned a spot on the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District I First Team in the At-Large category, the organization announced on Thursday. Greening garners the honor for the second straight season and will move to the national ballot to be eligible to repeat as an Academic All-American.

Greening, who earned second-team Academic All-America honors last season, was named the 2010 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner in addition to garnering the ECAC Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year award. The first-team All-Ivy League honoree also was named second-team All-ECAC Hockey and was a candidate for the Hobey Baker Award. Greening finished the 2009-10 season with 35 points in 34 games, scoring 15 goals and adding 20 assists. Six of his goals came on the power play, while three were game-winners.

The St. John's, Newfoundland, native appeared in 137 consecutive games over the course of his Cornell career, one shy of tying the school record. He finished with 118 career points, tying him for 33rd all-time at Cornell. Following the season, Greening, who was a 2005 draft pick of the Ottawa Senators, signed a contract with the NHL club and will begin his professional career in the fall of 2010.
