Matt Eisenberg Inducted into MAC Hall of Fame

ANNVILLE, Pa.- The Middle Atlantic Conference announced their 2020 Hall of Fame Class and Juniata's own Matt Eisenberg, class of 2001, was included in the class of 19 honorees. 

Eisenberg is Juniata's all-time career leader in receiving yards (3,500), touchdown receptions (38), and all-purpose yardage (5,421). He also ranks second on the Juniata's all-time leaderboard in career receptions (203) and scoring (252 points). Eisenberg holds Juniata single-game records in scoring, receiving yards, and touchdown receptions, as well as single-season marks in receptions, receiving yards, touchdown receptions, all-purpose yards, and all-purpose yards per game. He is the only player in Juniata history to haul in more than 300 yards receiving in a single game – having accomplished the feat twice during the 1999 season and is one of only two players to score more than 30 points in a single game. He holds 14 school records overall. 

Eisenberg earned First Team All-America honors from Don Hansen's Football Gazette in 1999 and was a Second Team All-American on the Hewlett-Packard squad. He was the 1999 MAC Player of the Year and was an All-MAC honoree in 2000, 1999 and 1998.

On the baseball field, Eisenberg graduated as the program's all-time career hits leader with 173 – he still ranks third among career leaders – and was Juniata's career at-bats leader with 500. He currently ranks seventh among all-time runs leaders with 113, is second in career triples with 14, and his six triples in 1998 tied a school record. He made the All-MAC Commonwealth First Team his sophomore, junior, and senior years. 

Eisenberg was inducted into the Juniata College Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.
