2025-2026 University Credit Union Student-Athletes of the Month
OCTOBER 2025
Recognizing the outstanding achievements of our University of Southern Maine student-athletes is something we are proud to do. Since January of 2022, Huskies' Athletics and University Credit Union have partnered up to highlight the varied and vital contributions USM student-athletes make in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Whether its big-time performances for their team, or big steps in their academic and career goals, or our student-athletes commitment to Community Service, USM & UCU are ready to celebrate our Student-Athletes of the Month.
Chosen by members of the Athletic Department administration, recipients of this honor successfully embody the Five Pillars of USM Athletics: Academic Excellence, Athletic Achievement, Personal Growth, Professional Development and Service to Community.
During the month of October, the student-athletes chosen came up with big time performances to help their team, and help write some history: men's soccer's
Exauce Lenge and women's golf's
Remy Levin.
Exauce Lenge | Junior | Mechanical Engineering | Portland, Maine
A starting forward for the Huskies' men's soccer team,
Exauce Lenge had a breakout season for Southern Maine and was instrumental during the month of October helping lead USM back to the Little East Conference playoffs and the program's first home playoff bid since the 2008 season.
Named the Little East Conference Offensive Player of the Week twice in the month of October, Lenge scored five goals, including three against Little East Conference opponents earning critical points in the standings. Lenge had the Huskies' game-winner against VTSU-Castleton, and scored the game-tying goals against Eastern Connecticut. Out of conference, Lenge's goal helped the Huskies earn a 2-2 draw with nationally-ranked Bates College.
Remy Levin | Senior | English | Steep Falls, Maine
Remy Levin was a history-maker at the first-ever Little East Conference women's golf championship. Huskies' women's golf, in its second season as Southern Maine's 23
rd intercollegiate sport, placed third at the 2025 LEC Championship, and Levin became the first medalist in Little East Conference Women's Golf Championship history as she fired an 85 (+13) on the second day of competition to edge out Keene State's Madi Mousley by a stroke for the conference title.
Named the LEC Golfer of the Week four times during the season, Levin also earned All-New England honors in October, placing sixth at the 2025 New England Intercollegiate Golf Association (NEIGA) Championship. She is the first All-New England golfer for the second-year program.
WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITY CREDIT UNION/ATHLETIC DIRECTOR STUDENT-ATHLETE OF THE MONTH?
Throughout each academic year as Huskies' Athletics moves from fall to winter to the spring competition, Southern Maine student-athletes are consistently recognized at the state, conference, regional and national level for their outstanding and noteworthy performances on the field of competition.
Academically, Huskies are also known for their superior performances earning All-Academic team honors from a variety of awards bureaus as well as the University. During the 2024-25 academic year, USM student-athletes combined for a department grade point average of 3.2. Each year, Husky student-athletes receive recognition for their athletic, academic and community service activities.
Proudly supporting and emphasizing the Division III student-athlete model, Huskies' Athletics focuses its goals on five key areas for each of its nearly 450 student-athletes: Academic Excellence, Athletic Achievement, Personal Growth, Professional Development and Service to Community.
Many of USM student-athletes play big roles not only on their teams, but also in life - as student employees, mentors, student organization leaders, civic rights activists, residence life assistants, and more. With that in mind, former Director of Athletics
Al Bean partnered with University Credit Union to create a new way to honor and amplify the remarkable contributions of our student-athletes that go far beyond the stat sheet with the UCU Athletic Director Student-Athlete of the Month recognition.
"As a department, Huskies Athletics believes in the development of the overall student-athlete. As soon as they become a Husky, we are investing in their future. The goal for a USM student-athlete is for each and every one to realize their full potential academically, athletically, personally, professional and civically. Our student-athletes are leaders on and off of the field and in the community. With the creation of the UCU Athletic Director Student-Athlete of the Month honor, we are seeking to establish a tangible way to congratulate and encourage the work of student-athletes both inside and outside of the competitive arena."
The UCU Athletic Director Student-Athlete of the Month (one male, one female) will be chosen based upon Huskies' Five Key Pillars: Academic Excellence, Athletic Achievement, Personal Growth, Professional Development and Service to Community. Members of the Huskies' Athletic Administration will nominate and choose those student-athletes to be recognized.
