GETTYSBURG, Pa. – The Gettysburg College Department of Athletics and the Orange and Blue Club are proud to announce the selection of six former student-athletes, including a beloved long-time, championship-winning coach, for enshrinement into the Hall of Athletic Honor this upcoming fall.

The Class of 2024 features a group that accounted for 38 conference championships and 31 national playoff appearances by their respective teams. Headlining the class is former women's lacrosse and field hockey coach Carol Daly Cantele '83, who retired after 30 years of coaching in 2022. The class also includes Tedra Fazendeiro '97 (field hockey), Heather Gallagher '03 (women's swimming), Ryan Moore '02 (football), Garrick Robinson '83 (men's lacrosse) and Andy Sheely '88 (baseball).
The six individuals will be formally inducted in the College Union Building Ballroom on Friday, Sept. 20 as part of the Homecoming festivities. They will also be recognized at halftime of the football game against Christopher Newport the following day. More information regarding the ceremony will be made available later this summer.

Cantele holds the rare distinction of hoisting a national championship trophy as both a player and a coach. A two-sport athlete as an undergraduate at Gettysburg, she helped the Bullets win the school's first national title in 1980. The field hockey team won the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Division III Tournament – the precursor to the NCAA Championship. A dual-sport athlete, she also competed on the lacrosse team and led that program to its first national playoff appearance in 1981. She returned to her alma mater in 1992 to take over the field hockey and lacrosse programs from her mentor, Lois Bowers. For 10 years, she led both programs before relinquishing the reins of field hockey in 2002, amassing 121 victories and five conference championships. Her 30-year run as head women's lacrosse coach saw the Orange and Blue rack up a .795 winning percentage (446-115), eight undefeated conference seasons, 13 conference titles, 20 NCAA bids, eight national semifinal appearances, and three national championships (2011, 2017, 2018). Her players garnered no fewer than 63 All-America citations and eight national Player of the Year honors under her tutelage. Cantele was four times the national coach of the year, 11 times the regional coach of the year, and three times the conference coach of the year. Among her countless national honors was induction into the IWLCA Hall of Fame in 2021.

Fazendeiro helped establish the Gettysburg field hockey program as a dominant force in the infancy of the Centennial Conference (CC), setting the standard over the first four years of the league. A first-team all-conference selection as a junior and senior, she also claimed all-region accolades as a junior. Starting 16 of the 17 games during her rookie campaign, she burst onto the scene with five goals and four assists. For an encore, she led the team with nine goals and 19 points, helping the Bullets to a CC title and an NCAA tournament appearance. She finished her time in orange and blue with 99 career points, including 43 goals. Both tallies still rank in the top five in the history of the program. Her four-goal (eight-point) outburst against Oberlin on Oct. 15, 1995 still stands as the single-game record. In her four years, Gettysburg had a .651 winning percentage and lost just eight times in conference play.

Gallagher can easily be regarded as one of the top women's swimmers to ever dive into the pool at Gettysburg. A 13-time CC champion, she is the only women's swimmer in the history of the conference to sweep the 50 and 100 freestyles titles in three consecutive seasons. In addition to her 13 first-place finishes, she added 12 second-place finishes over her four conference championship meets. Additionally, she claimed All-America honors in the 100 butterfly in 2001 and the 100 freestyle in 2002. Over her final three seasons, she did not lose a race in the 50 or 100 free during dual competition, winning 32 times. She helped the Bullets to the conference team titles in 2000 and 2003 and runner-up finishes in 2001 and 2002. She was also named the Most Outstanding Performer at the championship meet as a senior and graduated as the program record holder in four events.

Moore was a force in the middle of the Bullet defense for four years. A four-year starter at inside linebacker, he was a ballhawk that opposing offenses could often do little to stop. Moore reached triple-figure tackles in each of his final three seasons and still holds the program record for most career tackles with 430. One of only two players in the history of the conference with more than 400 stops, he had 24 games with double-digit tackles. Not only did he stop the ballcarrier coming his way, he often made sure to get the opposing team off the field, nabbing 16 interceptions during his storied career. Nearly one-third of those picks ended with Moore in the endzone. His five interceptions returned for a touchdown, which included three as a senior in 2001, still stands as not only a Gettysburg record but the most by any CC defender. His senior year started with a bang, returning a pair of second-quarter interceptions for touchdowns, sprinting 19 and 22 yards. All told, he racked up a record-setting 223 interception return yards in his tenure. A three-time all-conference selection, he also earned All-America accolades in 1999, 2000 and 2001. In addition to his 16 picks, he broke up another 16 passes and forced a pair of fumbles.

Robinson set a Gettysburg goalie standard that all netminders over the next 40 years spent trying to achieve. A wall on the backline of the Bullet defense, he stuffed more opposing shots in a game (33), season (285) and career (806) than any other goalie to wear orange and blue. He did it a higher rate too, posting the best save percentage of any goalie with more than 200 saves at .660. Robinson did it all from the moment he stepped foot on campus, debuting with a record-setting 285 saves and .700 save percentage in his rookie campaign of 1980. That season saw his first 30-save performance, stopping 31 shots in a 13-7 win over two-time defending Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) champions Western Maryland. He topped the 20-save mark nine times in 13 games that season. His career culminated in 1983 with a 6.62 goals-against average, .671 save percentage, All-MAC second team recognition and MAC title. He had 20 or more saves in four games during his final year to give him 16 career games where he reached the 20-save plateau.

Sheely was a five-tool player that could do it all on the baseball diamond. A four-year starter in the Bullet outfield, he was a two-time All-MAC first-team selection and all-region honoree as a senior. He was a key piece of the success Gettysburg had on the field in the mid-80s, leading the squad to back-to-back MAC titles in 1986 and 1987 and to the NCAA tournament in 1988. A career .332 hitter, he held the career record for runs batted in at 92 upon his graduation. During the 1988 season in which Gettysburg posted a then-record 28-10 mark that included a MAC semifinal run and the first NCAA appearance in 26 years, Sheely drove in 44 runs – a record which stood for 26 years. He hit .391 that season, including carrying a 21-game hitting streak into the second game of the NCAA tournament. He also stole 17 bases that season with a .586 slugging percentage, contributing 10 doubles and four home runs that included a two-homer game with five RBIs in an 8-6 win over Johns Hopkins.

Since 1978, the Orange and Blue Club has overseen the recognition of the College's outstanding former student-athletes with selection to the Hall of Athletic Honor. With the addition of this year's class of standout performers, 275 former Bullets have been selected for induction over the last 46 years. The six 2024 inductees were selected from a list of nearly 70 candidates by the Hall of Athletic Honor Selection Committee.
