Hall of Fame
Jeff Gilheney, a member of the inaugural men's lacrosse team at the College, was elected as an honorary inductee into the Hall of Fame. The program's first captain, Gilheney worked closely with Head Coach Tom Diehl to turn a shared vision for the program from a club team to a varsity team into reality. As a student-athlete, he assisted with recruiting numerous students to the program and his dedication, leadership and mentorship laid the foundation for a program which has won the College's only men's national championships. Gilheney, who along with other early members of the program are considered the "Founding Fathers", was a passionate supporter of the program and College morally and financially, until his passing in February 2020. The "Founding Fathers" led the fundraising campaign for the Athletic Weight Room, which was unveiled in September 2011. On the field, Gilheney was credited with 24 points on 17 goals and seven assists over 18 games in his two seasons prior to graduation, while other more-modern statistics (ground balls, caused turnovers) were not kept at the time.
