Messiah University Athletics Hall of Honor
Jessica graduated in 2000 and, like Megan (above), was a two-sport student-athlete as she played both softball and field hockey. On the diamond—and more specifically from the circle— Jessica was named NFCA First Team All-American in 1999 thanks to a 19-3 record that included a 0.96 earned-run average and a .156 batting average against over 153.1 innings. Jessica was also named NFCA All-Region in both 1998 and 1999, and she was named the MAC Pitcher of the Year in 1999. Jessica was also a standout at the plate, evidenced by her .392 batting average, 13 doubles, and 32 RBI during her 1999 season.
