The award was from the 2014 high school season.

The scholarship awards of $1,000 each may be used toward their college expenses. The Award was created both to honor Ortale – a former Duke’s player who passed away while working at the World Trade Center in the 9-11 terrorist act – and to support the Duke’s mission to support tradition, sportsmanship and community service.

Schreiner, Freibott and McAvoy were chosen for their positive attributes and contributions to the Duke’s LC. Ortale, a Penn Charter graduate, starred at Duke. Ortale was 37 years old and working as a securities broker for Euro Brokers Inc. when the World Trade Center was attacked.

Schreiner was a US Lacrosse and Under Armour All-American, and had a .64 save percentage, a 5.34 goals against average and 237 saves in 2014. He led the Devils to the District 1 title and a PIAA finals berth.

Freibott was a US Lacrosse All-American and First-Team All-State pick in 2014 who collected 83 groundballs and seven goals. He helped the Sals reach the state final.

McAvoy earned US Lacrosse Academic All-American and All-Berks First Team in 2014. He was a member of the National Honor Society and was an AP Scholar.
