| Inducted September 19, 2008 | ||
Seanna is one of the most highly decorated field hockey players
in College history. A two-time NFHCA All-American, she was
also named All Northeast-10 Conference First Team as a
senior. She graduated as the program's all-time leading
scorer, with 45 goals and 23 assists for 113 points, breaking a
record that had been in place for 12 years. At the time of
her induction, she remains the all-time scoring leader, and
continues to hold several Purple Knight records. After
scoring nine goals and five assists over her first two seasons,
Seanna really poured it on as a junior and senior. She scored
18 goals in each of her last two years, and added 18 assists over
that span. Over her four-year career, the team was 42-30
(.583 winning percentage) and made four trips to the Northeast-10
Final Four. A team captain, she was also an outstanding
student, and was the recipient of the prestigious Roger Keleher '15
Award in 2000 as the College's top female senior
student-athlete. Having also received the Victor V. LeMieux
'35 Award as a junior, Seanna is a member of a very special
group. She is the only student-athlete in College history to
ever receive the LeMieux Award before her senior year, and she
joins Hall of Famers Kathy O'Neil '81 and Amy Molina '93 as the
only people to receive two major awards during their
undergraduate years.
