Messiah University Athletics Hall of Honor
Aftan graduated in 2006 after completing a four-year career with field hockey that rivals most others in NCAA Division III history. She was named the 2005 NFHCA National Player of the Year, and was both a four-time NFHCA First Team All-American and four-time First Team All-Region Player. Aftan was named the MAC Commonwealth Rookie of the Year in 2002 and the Player of the Year in 2005, and she was named First Team All-Conference in each season.
Aftan helped the team finish as MAC Commonwealth Champion in each of her four seasons of play, and she twice helped the Falcons to Division III National Runner-Up finishes. Along the way she collected 226 career points and 58 career assists, both second in program history to teammate Danae (Chambers) Hollenbach, who was herself inducted into the Hall of Honor last year. Aftan is also third in program history with 84 career goals, trailing just Hollenbach '05 (111) and Jennifer Terranova '86 (85).
