2026-2027 University Credit Union Student-Athletes of the Month
SEPTEMBER 2026
Recognizing the outstanding achievements of our University of Southern Maine student-athletes is something we are proud to do. Beginning in January of 2022 and now in it's fourth year, 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 September and to kick off the 2026-2027 academic year, the student-athletes from the Huskies' women's and men's golf teams team were selected based upon their outstanding individual performances and outstanding character:
Remy Levin and
Will Farschon.
Will Farschon | Junior | Communications | Brunswick, Maine
Transferring to the University of Southern Maine from Southern Maine Community College, Will has had a tremendous start to his Husky campaign. Recently named the Little East Conference Golfer of the Week for the third time this season, Farschon had individual medalist honors as the SMCC Seawolf Shootout and at the John Queenan Memorial Invitational, and finished second overall at the Bowdoin College Invitational in the month of September.
Remy Levin | Graduate Student | Master's – Teaching and Learning | Steep Falls, Maine
Recently named the Little East Conference Golfer of the Week for the second time this season, Remy has continued to make a lasting impact on the Huskies' women's golf team. Claiming medalist honors at the John Queenan Memorial Invitational, Remy set the program record for lowest round shooting a 79, marking the first time in the team's three-year history a golfer has shot under 80. Serving as the 2026 team captain, Remy was an All-Little East Conference golfer in 2025 and the LEC Champion.
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 2025-26 academic year, USM student-athletes combined for a department grade point average of 3.263, claimed six Little East Conference Championships and excelled at the national stage. 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.
