Campbell made her mark as a prolific offensive performer during a highly-successful run for the women's soccer team. She racked up 111 points on 49 goals and 13 assists while helping the Rangers win the program's first Landmark Conference title during her sophomore season in 2013. She started her career in impressive fashion, pouring in 16 goals while earning Landmark Conference Rookie of the Year honors. She added 15 goals one year later and played a huge role in the team's run to the conference title, scoring three of Drew's four goals in the Landmark Championships. She scored the first two goals in the team's 3-2 overtime win over No. 2 seed Juniata in the semifinals before scoring the Rangers' lone goal in the championship match, a 1-1 tie at top-seeded Scranton in which Drew captured the title in a penalty-kick shootout. She was named the Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Year that season and also captured the first of her two All-Region awards. The first player in team history to be named first-team all-conference four times, she was selected as Drew's Female Career Athlete of the Year in 2026 and its Vince Masco Female Athlete of the Year in 2013. In addition, she was selected to the Landmark Conference All-Decade Team in 2017.
 
Tripp excelled as a playmaking midfielder for the women's lacrosse team and finished second all-time at Drew with 126 career assists. She also scored 178 goals, which currently ranks seventh in team history, and finished with 304 points, a mark that ranks fifth in the Ranger record book. She earned First Team All-Landmark Conference honors in each of her last three seasons, and she was also a three-time Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Association (IWLCA) All-Region pick, garnering first-team recognition as a junior in 2014, when she set a still-standing school record with 55 assists. She also holds Drew standards for points in a game (12), assists in a game (nine), and caused turnovers in a game (10). In addition, her 111 points in 2014 places her second in team history. She helped lead the Rangers to four consecutive Landmark Conference playoff appearances and a pair of ECAC tournaments berths in her last two seasons. Tripp was twice honored as Drew's Vince Masco Female Athlete of the Year and earned a spot on the Landmark Conference All-Decade Team.
 
The Drew men's lacrosse team won a pair of titles in the 2008 season, including the inaugural Landmark Conference crown, and DeGiovanni was at the center of the team's success. A standout long-stick midfielder/defenseman, he was selected not only as the Landmark Conference Player of the Year during that championship season, but also as a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Honorable Mention All-American. He helped lead the Rangers to a 5-1 mark in Landmark Conference play to earn the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament, where the Blue and Green topped Merchant Marine in the semifinals and Goucher in the championship game. The Blue and Green went on to defeat SUNY Maritime and Swarthmore to capture the ECAC title as well, with DeGiovanni and the defense holding their four postseason opponents to 6.25 goals per game. He ended his career as a three-time all-conference recipient, including as a First Team All-Landmark honoree in 2009. He guided his team four consecutive appearances in the Middle Atlantic Conference or Landmark Conference playoffs as well as a spot in the ECAC Championships over his last three seasons. He accumulated 279 ground balls and 34 caused turnovers throughout his career while also contributing offensively with 14 goals and nine assists. He was selected to play in the USILA North-South Senior All-Star Game, and he was also named to the Landmark Conference All-Decade Team.
 
Kleiman established herself as an offensive force for the women's lacrosse team, finishing in the top-five at Drew in all three major offensive categories. She accumulated 357 points on 255 goals and 102 assists for her career and currently ranks second in school history in goals, tied for second in points, and fifth in assists. During her junior campaign in 2013, she shattered the school record for goals in a season with 88, a mark that also ranked sixth in Division III. She was a three-time IWLCA First Team All-Region recipient and a three-time First Team All-Landmark Conference selection while also capturing the Landmark Conference Player of the Year award during each of her last two seasons. A two-time ECAC All-Star as well, she teamed up with Tripp to guide the Rangers to the Landmark Conference Championships four years in a row and the ECAC Championships during her last two seasons. She was recognized as Drew's Female Career Athlete of the Year in 2014 and was selected to the Landmark Conference All-Decade Team.
 
Klinger made his mark as one of the most prolific scorers in the history of the Drew men's basketball program, scoring 1,630 points over his four-year career at The Forest. Despite missing seven games due to injury during his senior campaign, he finished as the fifth-leading scorer in team history and is one of only five players at Drew to score 1,600 points. He is also one of only three Rangers in his sport to earn All-Landmark Conference honors three times, including first-team honors during each of his last two seasons, and was a two-time All-Met selection as well. He scored a career-high 19.4 points per game during his sophomore campaign, and one year later he pumped in 17.9 points per game while guiding Drew to just its second appearance in the Landmark Conference Championships. As a senior, he bounced back from an early-season injury and nearly equaled his career-high with 19.3 points per night. He also finished second in program history in career free-throw percentage (85.1%), and his 89.0% mark at the charity stripe during his sophomore year is third all-time at Drew. Klinger also competed for the Ranger baseball team as an infielder during his first two years at The Forest, leading the team in doubles (seven) and tying for second in batting average (.283) as a sophomore. He was selected as Drew's Male Career Athlete of the Year in 2016.
 
Van Wingerden put together the most successful career in the history of Drew women's cross country, capped by an appearance in the NCAA Division III Championships. Though she had never competed in the sport prior to her junior season, she made an immediate impact and in her very first race, earning Landmark Conference Athlete of the Week honors after finishing as the top Division III runner at the Monmouth Invitational. She concluded the year with a bang, a placing 19th among over 300 runners at the ECAC Championships. However, her best was yet to come, as she posted a sensational senior campaign. She was at her best when it counted the most and closed the year with outstanding performances in each of her four championship meets. She started with a victory at the Landmark Conference Championships, which earned her the conference's Performer of the Year Award and a spot on the All-Landmark Conference First Team, and followed up with another victory, capturing the ECAC title. Van Wingerden then made history at the NCAA Division III Atlantic Region Championships, where she placed 11th among 277 runners, lowered her own school record for 6,000 meters (22:22), and became the first Drew cross country runner (male or female) to qualify for the NCAA Division III Championships. She turned in yet another stellar showing at the national meet, where she placed 100th in a field of 263 while posting the third-fastest time of her career for 6K (22:47). Van Wingerden still owns the fastest time in program history for 4K (14:45) and is second in the 6K and seventh in the 5K (19:57).
