A four-year letter winner on the field hockey surface for Juniata College, Kathleen McGowan still held the school record for goals in a career (39) at the time of her induction. The two-year captain started all four years at forward for the blue and gold program. As a freshman, she placed second on the team in total points with six on three goals, while as a sophomore she cracked the cage seven times and recorded the first assist of her career. During the 1988 season, she established a single-season Juniata record with 16 goals and that mark still stood at the time of her induction in 2001. She also passed out four assists as a junior to set a program standard for points in a single season (36). She wrapped up her College Hill tenure with 13 goals and four assists for 30 points. Overall, as of October 2001, she still owned four of Juniata's six scoring records. More importantly, she was largely responsible for turning the field hockey program into one to be reckoned with in the Middle Atlantic Conference, as Juniata went 21­5­1 during her final two years.
