SUNY Oswego recently honored the late Edward Zorn, class of 1963, of Hamlin, with induction into the college’s Athletic Hall of Fame.
Standout soccer player Zorn — the only posthumous honoree — officially was inducted with six fellow alumni into the Hall of Fame during ceremonies on campus.
Zorn is one of only three men’s soccer All-Americans at Oswego, collecting Honorable Mention in 1962. During his senior season, Zorn was also named First Team All-State and First Team All-SUNYAC. Zorn was the second-straight Laker to earn All-America honors; as the program’s first-ever All-American, Bob Thole, class of 1962, earned his recognition in 1961.
After his time at Oswego, Zorn taught industrial arts while coaching varsity soccer at Greece Olympia High School in Rochester. He spent his free time growing, promoting and advancing youth soccer in Hamlin.
Tracie DiFlorio, Zorn’s daughter, accepted his Hall of Fame plaque.
