Hall of Athletic Honor
When she graduated with a major in business administration, she left behind one of the outstanding tennis records in the history of Gettysburg College. She won 38 singles matches, while losing 11, and she captured 36 doubles encounters, losing just nine, for an overall 77-20 record.
She began to blaze a successful trail her freshman year with a 9-2 singles record. She and Sue Anderson teamed in doubles to win the EAIAW title. That gave them a chance to become Gettysburg's very first tennis players to compete in a national championship. They advanced to the semi-finals before losing to the Cal-Davis tandem. She was 10-1 in singles her sophomore year, but did not qualify for nationals after losing in the EAIAW tourney. 1982 proved to be a tough year for her as Gettysburg moved from the AIAW to the NCAA.
Following back surgery prior to her senior year, she returned to the top of her game with an 11-0 singles record and guided Gettysburg to the NCAA championships in California. She split her singles matches, as did she and Cindy Cross in doubles play.
She was an accomplished field hockey player, but competed only three of her four years. However, she was a member of Gettysburg's first national championship team in 1980.
