The Assumption Department of Athletics has announced its 2018 Hall of Fame class, which will be inducted on Friday, October 26. This year’s inductees include Larry Bornheimer ’89 (Basketball), Karen Doucette ’85 (Basketball/Softball), Paul Duquette ’81 (Men’s Lacrosse), Bill Hodge ’91 (Men’s Soccer), Stephanie (Fleming) Montessi ’02 (Field Hockey), and Lauren Raswyck ’08 (Volleyball).
BORNHEIMER was a four-year Men’s Basketball standout, finishing his career with 1,457 points – 16th in program history. Despite the three-pointer only being in existence for his final three seasons, the All-Conference guard ranks seventh all-time in three-point field goals (169) and sixth in career three-point percentage (.406). Bornheimer’s 72 three-point field goals during the 1987–88 season are the ninth highest total in program history. He finished his career with 418 assists, 226 rebounds, and 175 steals.
DOUCETTE is Assumption’s all-time leader in assists (621), owns the top two single-season assist totals in Women’s Basketball program history, and is second all-time in steals (284). Doucette was selected as captain and won the Cating Award during her senior season. Doucette also played softball for three years and served as a captain for the 1984 season. She was a .370 hitter, with 60 hits and 50 RBIs in her career.
DUQUETTE was one of the pioneers of the Men’s Lacrosse program. He helped build the program from a 0-10 team as a freshman to one with back-to-back winning seasons and a 13-5 mark over his final two years. A true ambassador for the mission of the institution, Duquette was named captain as a senior for his leadership and ability to bring his team together. In addition to his impressive character, he ranks eighth in program history with 65 goals and 11th in points (90). Duquette passed away in 2015 and will be honored posthumously.
HODGE was a dynamic scoring forward for the Men’s Soccer program for four seasons. He captained the 1989 team and is currently the school’s all-time leader in assists (24). He also ranks fourth all-time with 68 points on 22 goals and 24 assists. Hodge’s 35 points from 10 goals and 15 assists in 1988 still ranks as the second-highest single-season total in Men’s Soccer history. The talented athlete also spent two seasons as an infielder on the Baseball team, helping them to a 43-36 mark.
MONTESSI is one of the top scorers in Assumption Field Hockey history. She was a two-time Northeast-10 All-Conference selection, earning First-Team honors in 2000, and graduated as part of the second-winningest class in program history. Individually, she is second all-time in games played while ranking fifth in program history in both points (82) and goals (33). Her team captured the 1998 ECAC Championship, compiling a school-record 17-4 season.
RASWYCK is one of the best volleyball players in program history. During her four seasons, she became Assumption’s all-time leader in digs (1,930) while captaining the team to a 13-11 record and winning the Rev. Armand Desautels, A.A., Memorial Award. During the 2006 season, she totaled a school-record 649 digs and ranked second in the nation with 7.21 digs per set – the fourth-highest single-season mark in NCAA history. Additionally, Raswyck owns the top three single-match dig records with 53, 46, and 45 digs.
