Baseball saw the most graduates with 15, while football followed with 14.  Women's lacrosse saw five graduate while women's soccer and volleyball had four.

Three men's basketball players walked across the stage, with women's golf, women's tennis, cheerleading and men's soccer following with two each.

Men's golf, men's tennis, softball, men's cross country, women's cross country and women's basketball graduated one apiece.

Four former members of the men's lacrosse team earned their degrees from PC as well.
