Jhalen Bien-Aime, '19 Football
Bien-Aime made a significant impact on the Pace football program following his arrival in 2014. As a freshman, he earned a spot on the Northeast 10 (NE10) All-Rookie Team, contributing on special teams and amassing 1,516 yards as a punt and kick returner. Despite missing the 2015 and 2016 seasons due to injury, Bien-Aime made a strong comeback in 2017. That year, he was named First Team All-NE10, received All-ECAC Honorable Mention, and was recognized as the ECAC Player of the Week (Sept. 19). He led both the program and the conference with 1,040 rushing yards on 201 carries.
 
In 2018, Bien-Aime became Pace's all-time leading rusher after a standout performance against Bentley on Oct. 31, recording 210 rushing yards and two touchdowns. By the end of his final season in 2019, he became the first player in program history to surpass 3,000 career rushing yards. He finished his Setter career as the program leader in three major categories: career rushing yards (3,186), career rushing touchdowns (25), and single-season rushing yards (1,040 in 2017). Additionally, he ranks second all-time in single-season rushing attempts (201 in 2017) and career points scored (156).
 
Liam Brennan '18, Men's Lacrosse
Throughout his four years with the Pace Men's Lacrosse program, Brennan made an immediate impact, earning NE10 All-Rookie Team honors in 2015. He continued to collect accolades from both the NE10 and ECAC through his senior season in 2018. In 2017, Brennan received national recognition with an Honorable Mention All-American nod from the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA). That same year, he was named ISLA/BSN Sports National Offensive Player of the Week twice. He began his senior season with an Inside Lacrosse Preseason All-American honor.
 
During the 2017 season, Brennan played a key role in leading the team to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. The junior, at the time, concluded the postseason contest with three points on two goals and one assist while picking up three ground balls. The team finished the year with a 12–4 overall record, including a 9–2 mark in conference play and a trip to the NE10 Semifinals. The attack man concluded his career in Blue and Gold ranked second all-time in both points (220) and assists (107), and sixth all-time in goals (107).
 
Jocelyn Greco (Durando) '06, Women's Soccer
Greco was a standout goalkeeper for the women's soccer program. She holds the second-lowest goals-against average in program history at 1.08 (61 GA over 5,232 minutes) and is the all-time leader in career shutouts with 19. In her senior year (2006), she set the single-season shutout record with seven, following a 0-0 tie against Assumption on Oct. 16.
 
That same season, she was named NE10 Goalkeeper of the Year and earned a spot on the NSCAA New England Region First Team. Greco has etched her name throughout the women's soccer record book: she ranks third all-time with 283 career saves, fifth all-time with 4.72 career saves per game, and holds a top-10 single-season mark with 104 saves in 2006.
 
Annie Keppel-Palmer '21, Women's Swimming and Diving
An exceptional student-athlete, Annabel "Annie" Keppel-Palmer has made her mark both in the pool and in the classroom. Competing for Pace Women's Swimming and Diving, she holds three individual program records (200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 Back) and four relay records (400 Free, 800 Free, 200 Medley, and 400 Medley). She was named NE10 Rookie of the Year for the 2017–18 season and made NCAA B Cuts in the 200 Back and 400 IM, qualifying for the NCAA Division II Championships in 2018.
 
In recognition of her academic and athletic excellence, Keppel-Palmer was named a CSCAA Scholar All-American in 2018. Her impact outside the pool includes serving as Vice President of Administration for the Pace Student Government Association (2020–21), working as a math and economics tutor with the Pace Learning Commons, and serving as a Graduate Research Assistant with the Seidenberg School of Computer Science.
 
Peyton Wejnert, Men's Basketball '20
Wejnert is another inductee who took pride in the term "student-athlete". Not only was he a stellar forward for the men's basketball program, but he also claimed the titles of being 2019-2020 CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year, NE10 Scholar Athlete of the Year, and NE10 Sports Excellence Award winner.

That same season of 2019-20, Wejnert was named All-Metropolitan (MET) Player of the Year and earned All-Region selections from both the D2CCA and NABC. He ranks fifth all-time in program history in points (1,729), sixth in rebounds (764), and third in single-season scoring with 659 points in 2019–20. He also maintained an impressive 50% field goal percentage over the course of his career in Blue and Gold.

Brown concluded, "This Hall of Fame class is a powerful reminder of our institution's dedication to paving the way for future generations both inside and outside the classroom."
